CONSULTING
The experts at Elijah have extensive experience devising solutions for the electronic data needs of our clients. Ranging from proactive advice regarding document retention procedures to reactive needs such as responding to discovery requests relating to electronic evidence, the team at Elijah has the skill set to guide you through the minefield of electronic data issues.
Upon anticipation of litigation, companies must terminate the destruction of relevant electronic evidence and preserve digital files such as email. Elijah’s consulting team, led by a former partner of an AmLaw 100 firm with years of experience relating to electronically stored information, is prepared to advise you regarding best practices for planning, implementing and ensuring continued compliance for litigation holds. Elijah also has extensive experience devising document retention policies, updating existing policies, data mapping and consulting regarding best practices for document retention, both directly and in consultation with outside counsel.
Additionally, our experts can assist in managing the discovery process in complex litigation. Our lead consultant is a former partner at an AmLaw 100 law firm with substantial experience in high-volume electronic discovery productions. We work together with attorneys and legal professionals to develop solutions for managing huge volumes of paper and electronic files, assist with production requests and interrogatories designed to discover information wherever it resides, and prepare solutions for experts and attorneys alike easily to review data and manage litigation through trial.
REDUCTIONS IN FORCE
A reduction in work force, or even the termination of a single employee, can pose significant challenges to an organization from a data retention and investigative standpoint. The team at Elijah provides consulting services regarding best practices for maintaining data for terminated employees, and implements protocols for preserving terminated employee data including drive imaging, network collections and document imaging. Elijah then maintains collected data in our secure environment, and is able to permanently erase collected data based on preset retention criteria or client demand. Many Elijah clients have built our services directly into their document retention policies and practices — insurance policies that have come in handy for our clients on multiple occasions.
