In today’s data-driven legal landscape, cases are often won or lost based on the evidence buried in electronic information. PowellPath Group’s eDiscovery services empower criminal and civil attorneys to handle vast amounts of electronically stored information (ESI) with confidence. We combine digital forensics expertise with AI-powered analytics to navigate the legal and technical complexities of modern discovery. The result? A seamless process that uncovers key evidence efficiently while maintaining strict compliance and defensibility.
Our comprehensive eDiscovery approach covers every stage of the ESI lifecycle—from early case strategy and data preservation to AI-assisted document review and final production. We understand the pressures attorneys face with tight deadlines, opposing counsel’s data dumps, and the need to protect privileged information. PowellPath Group serves as your dedicated partner to find the needle in the haystack and turn raw data into actionable insights for your case.
-
Expert ESI Handling: We excel at identifying, collecting, and preserving
ESI across devices and cloud platforms. Our forensically sound collections keep metadata
intact—critical to avoid losing or altering data. A defensible chain of custody covers
every email, chat, and file.
-
Advanced Data Processing: Deduplication and de-NISTing can trim huge
data sets by up to 40%, saving you significant review time. We also index data to enable
fast searching without altering original evidence.
-
AI-Assisted Review: Our Technology Assisted Review (TAR) uses predictive
coding to prioritize important documents. The AI “learns” from your tagging decisions,
drastically speeding up review and lowering costs.
-
Early Case Assessment (ECA): We perform rapid analytics to identify
keywords, patterns, and communications. By focusing on relevant data earlier, ECA slashes
downstream review time and sharpens legal strategy.
-
Defensible Productions: When it’s time to produce data to opposing counsel
or regulators, we handle it expertly. We deliver evidence in standard formats, with
required metadata. Every step is documented—from search terms to privilege logs—so you
can certify your production confidently.
-
Litigation Support & Consulting: Beyond data handling, we bridge the
gap between legal and IT. Our specialists guide you on ESI protocols, coordinate with
opposing counsel, and assist with depositions or trial prep when digital evidence
matters most.
Inbound or Outbound, We’ve Got You Covered
Whether you’re sifting through a massive data dump from opposing counsel or preparing your own data for disclosure, PowellPath Group is your eDiscovery ally. We swiftly highlight the most relevant communications—like that critical “smoking gun” email—so you can save valuable review hours. Conversely, if your team must produce a large volume of client data under tight deadlines, we help filter out duplicates or irrelevant material, protect privileged items, and assemble a court-ready production set.
Your Dedicated eDiscovery Partner
Our approach is both conversational and collaborative. We work closely with attorneys, never burying you in raw technical jargon. Instead, you get clear explanations, frequent updates, and strategic insights tailored to your case. PowellPath Group’s blend of legal expertise and technical prowess ensures you don’t have to choose between speed and accuracy; we deliver both, taking on even the toughest eDiscovery challenges.
Our Electronic Discovery Process
Identification & Preservation
We begin by mapping out every potential data source—emails, servers, cloud apps, mobile devices, social media, and more. We help implement litigation holds to prevent spoliation. By preserving data in place or collecting early, we keep timestamps, authors, and other metadata intact, guarding against accidental alterations or sanctions.
Forensic Collection
When it’s time to gather data, PowellPath employs forensically sound methods. We create exact bit-by-bit images of drives, extract cloud/email data, and log each file with a digital fingerprint (hash). Every item stays under a defensible chain of custody from start to finish.
Data Processing & Culling
Raw data can be chaotic. We convert formats (like PST to searchable text), OCR-scan PDFs, and index everything for fast searching. We also deduplicate across custodians, so you don’t review the same document multiple times. This can drastically cut costs and time.
ESI Protocol Compliance & Production
If your case has strict court rules or an ESI protocol, we follow them precisely. From applying agreed search terms to delivering data in standard load file formats, PowellPath ensures complete compliance. Our familiarity with FRCP, GDPR, CCPA, and more keeps even cross-border or privacy-heavy matters on track.
Continuous Communication
Throughout the eDiscovery cycle, we keep you updated on data volumes, preliminary findings, and any collection issues. If new requests arise, we pivot fast. By handling the technical heavy lifting, we allow you to focus on your legal strategy—not wrangling data.
