Prepare
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. FTI electronic discovery experts work with legal and IT teams to identify risks or gaps in information management, and to assist in implementation of procedures and solutions. Our program is designed to ensure that appropriate systems and processes are in place to make electronic discovery a strength rather than a weakness.

Collect
In the evolving world of electronic discovery, it’s essential to take the right steps – right out of the gate. FTI’s strategic collection and data gathering methods, executed by skilled computer forensics experts, will start you off on the right foot. Whether you seek assistance in developing a new collection plan or simply want to fine-tune your current one, FTI’s computer forensic engineers are adept at data collection and preservation while always maintaining sensitivity to regional laws and regulations relating to jurisdictional privacy, such as the strict requirements of the European Union. Realizing that “collect it all” methods are neither economical nor cost-effective, FTI employs a strategic selection of data, which preserves only that information necessary for review.

Process
Once data has been collected, FTI’s Native File Processing service can quickly separate the wheat from the chaff. With over 60 GB per day of processing capability, FTI has the capacity to handle the biggest projects. By partnering with industry leading companies such as Attenex for concept filtering and Equivio for “near duplicate” analysis, FTI provides additional value to traditional MD5 deduplication methods to significantly reduce document populations prior to review. FTI can output in the litigation platform format of your choice, including Ringtail, Concordance and Summation.

Cull
By integrating with technologies such as Attenex, dtSearch and Equivio, Ringtail Legal helps litigation teams separate the wheat from the chaff and quickly identify potentially responsive information. FTI also provides de-duplication and near-duplication detection services to help reduce the document set to a more manageable level.

Review and Code
Ringtail Legal provides the industry’s most scalable and configurable web-centric platform for speedy review and coding of documents. Legal teams can review and code documents anywhere, using just an Internet browser. And clients can install Ringtail Legal at their site, or quickly launch a case with the Ringtail Legal ASP.

Produce
For the occasional production of a few documents or the frequent production of millions of documents pertaining to multiple cases, Ringtail Legal has the flexibility and scalability to meet individual document production needs.

Present
FTI and Ringtail Legal provide a wide range of trial services, including migrating documents and other information into courtroom presentation products such as TrialMax®.
