It’s the role of corporate counsel to protect the company
from traditional threats, keep your house in order for
mergers and acquisitions, and assure the right paper
trail for regulatory audits. It’s the new and expanding
use of electronic evidence that can send corporate
legal teams into crisis mode.
That’s because many companies, while familiar with
traditional protective practices and litigation responses,
are new to the costs, risks and complexities involved
when it comes to electronic evidence. They do not have
a clear understanding of their universe of data or how
powerful it can be.
Your business needs an efficient way to gather and use
the potentially relevant universe of evidence locked away
in a variety of electronic formats, and an expert partner
who knows how to protect your company from the risk of
spoliation, sanctions, lost business opportunities, overly
broad requests from opposition, and increased legal
costs all around.
Act Now to Avoid the Crisis ManagementApproach LaterToday, electronic evidence is essential to
winning cases.
Don’t wait until you are involved in litigation to think
about your company’s policies on electronic data
preservation or how you will review and produce many
gigabytes…even terabytes of data. Don’t wait until
you’re in front of a judge to experience the pitfalls of
mishandled electronic evidence that won’t stand
up in court.
If you have smart policies, strategies and partners in
place, you won’t have to scramble for each and every
matter. You’ll ensure defensibility of your collection
process and be able to respond to new matters quickly
and cost-effectively while avoiding the risks of improperly
preserved or collected electronic evidence.
Let Fios Help You Plan and Execute WiselyFios can help you be proactive and improve litigation
outcomes by leveraging your company’s electronic
data correctly and efficiently. Fios Discovery Strategy
Services help you determine the best course of
action for quickly gathering electronic evidence in
a predictable, repeatable way that saves time and
money while increasing control over the litigation
response process.
Once you have a strategy and policy in place for
electronic data preservation, you can also leverage
our complete range of electronic discovery services
for collection, review and production of any electronic
evidence. Our savvy team of experts,
led by a Client Executive focused
on your particular needs, combines
business, technical and legal
acumen to support your success.
Your matter is never handed off to
the control of inexperienced staff.
It is always managed by a Client
Executive who knows the law, your
business and the technology.

and multifaceted, it isn’t magic when you choose the right
partner. You need a company whose core business is
electronic discovery, that has battle-tested methods and
technology, the right team and tools, and is well-versed
on the latest rulings affecting how electronic evidence
stands up in court.

leading provider of electronic discovery services to the
country’s top corporations. We have invested millions

Here’s an excerpt corporate counsel can sympathize with!Attorneys for an ousted corporate president are asking for electronic data from his old computer. However, because IT budgets were so tight, all spare computers were routinely redeployed. The computer belonging to the departed president was returned “broken,” and was sent back to the manufacturer for new hardware and an operating system upgrade. Data was overwritten in the process…Can you respond?
