Law Firms
Want to feel more confident with how your clients are handling ESI?
Do you need help managing ESI issues at a particular stage of the discovery process?
Ontrack Consulting can help you overcome the technical discovery issues often associated with complex litigation, regulatory responses, or internal investigations, giving you confidence in how your clients are handling their ESI issues.
Today, law firms have a more difficult task than ever before representing clients with discovery matters. Many corporations are not prepared for e-discovery and do not have best practices in place. Yet, under the new FRCP you are required to discuss details about their data as early as the pre-trial conferences.
Our consultants can help you ask the right questions of your client and their IT staff to get the answers you need about their networks and ESI in order to effectively advocate on their behalf.
We have established, time-tested best practices that our consultants can apply to help you better serve your clients and help them overcome some of the challenges they face with ESI discovery. Whether you are looking for a consultant to complement your team for a specific matter or someone to work with your client, our consultants are available to assist you with strategies and tasks such as the following:
- Data Accessibility Assessments - Kroll Ontrack can help you prepare your clients for future data accessibility discussions through data mapping and assessments. Our consultants can also help you communicate to the opposing counsel and/or court why certain data is not reasonably accessible and therefore your client should not bear the burden of producing it.
- Discovery / Collection Strategies - Kroll Ontrack consultants can create customized data collection strategies based on your client’s particular needs and IT infrastructure, working with you and your client to develop a responsible approach to discovery exercises.

- Litigation Readiness - Kroll Ontrack consulting professionals can assist you with preparing your clients for ESI discovery. From an assessment of your client’s data storage methods and the risks inherent in those methods to the development of a joint e-discovery response plan, Kroll Ontrack consultants can help you create a repeatable process that mitigates risk and promotes effective communication during an e-discovery matter.
- Litigation Cost Mitigation Strategies - Kroll Ontrack consultants can help you and your clients develop and implement strategies to reduce the total cost of e-discovery.
- Pre-Trial Conference Preparation - The new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require parties to discuss ESI strategies at the outset of litigation. But to what level will you delve during the meet and confer? What questions is the opposing counsel likely to ask? What information do you need to prepare for this discussion? Kroll Ontrack consultants can help you navigate these new waters and use the pre-trial conferences to your advantage.
