Electronic Discovery

Foreseeing the explosion of e-discovery in recent years, McLane invested in the software and hardware needed to capture and assess data in a cost-effective manner. As a result, our Litigation Group has the capacity and experience to effectively handle large-scale e-discovery in commercial litigation. Clients often turn to us instead of third-party vendors for managing their e-discovery obligations, and we have built an excellent track record of success of assisting clients in handling the discovery obligations in major lawsuits.

Our Litigation Group has the technical experience to tackle the details of conducting word searches, discarding duplicate records, and tracking down records in multiple locations. We know where to look and how to extract information that's relevant and responsive to discovery requests. We recognize the costs and risks associated with e-discovery requests in individual cases, allowing us to partner with clients to manage and limit the scope of discovery within the bounds of court rules and case law. Our attorneys are experienced at fashioning appropriate "litigation holds" for clients at the outset of discovery, as well as working with opposing counsel in hammering out practical discovery agreements.
