At the beginning of every eDiscovery project, the sources of ESI that are potentially relevant to the case must be identified. In order to do this, Teneo can interview employees, such as IT personnel, who know where ESI is located and who has access to it. We can conduct data mapping and collect ESI from all available data sources.

Once the potentially relevant ESI is identified, steps must be taken to preserve it in its current state. Teneo isolates the systems containing the ESI and uses forensic collection tools to create a preserved forensic copy of the data. The data is then transferred under chain-of-custody protocols to our secure forensic laboratories for further processing and analysis.

Liaising closely with you, we will extract, verify and convert the data files into a searchable format before indexing and de-duplicating the data set. Following the processing phase, we will work with you on early case assessment to help identify the most applicable documents for review.

The remaining ESI is then made available in one of our document review platforms, such as Relativity, allowing our clients and their legal advisors to efficiently and easily review, code and redact documents. Analytical techniques and advanced features can be further applied to identify any relevant documents.

After the document review has been completed, Teneo will readily support you in your document disclosure. Our team and technologies support all common court-approved production formats and allows for customized bates numbering, slip sheets and metadata fields. We can also accommodate bespoke production requirements and will therefore discuss and confirm the specific production requirements prior to each disclosure.
