Day Pitney remains committed to providing quality legal counsel, while protecting our clients and employees, and transforming our communities into more just, equal and equitable spaces. For more information, please visit our COVID-19 Resource Center | Racial Justice and Equity Task Force.
From implementing a document review protocol for a single subpoena response to the establishment of a company-wide litigation hold plan, Day Pitney has your DP Discovery solution. The Day Pitney eDiscovery Team creates and implements practical solutions for clients from Fortune 500 companies to individual cases. We can also create practical company-wide data preservation or litigation hold plans, consult on data retention issues and strive to keep discovery proportional and under control.
Led by Day Pitney's dedicated eDiscovery Counsel, Cliff Nichols, the team harnesses the best technology with efficient and repeatable workflows and process. Cliff has over 14 years of experience working on complex litigation matters and for over half of that time he has focused his practice exclusively on effective electronic discovery. The team also consists of Litigation Technology Specialists, Litigation Paralegals, Contract Attorneys and Day Pitney Attorneys. Each litigation matter is staffed and budgeted so that technology specialists and paralegals are leveraged to their highest value.
Philosophy
The DP Discovery philosophy is based on experienced use of the best technology at predictable discovery costs. Day Pitney partners with leading discovery vendors to make the most advanced tools available for your matter. Every discovery engagement utilizes capped contracts with limited bundled line items to minimize uncertainty and avoid cost overruns. Collectively, the DP Discovery team has decades of experience creating intelligent discovery plans that work within - rather than take over -the case budget.
Alternative Fee Structures
We welcome and encourage alternative fee arrangements such as fixed or flat fees. We have created complete litigation hold compliance plans and protocols for fixed amounts based on the scope of potential discovery. We will conduct your entire discovery project inclusive of all costs - attorney time, technology, logistic, material and administrative - for fixed fees based on the number of documents reviewed. This allows for virtually complete control over discovery costs, all based on a metric that clients can readily appreciate. We will also create fixed fee plans that include only technology and contract attorneys or any combination of needed services. There is not a fixed fee approach that we do not embrace.
Predictive Coding
DP Discovery implements artificial intelligence, machine learning, technology assisted review and Predictive Coding on every matter where these techniques will reduce cost or lead to a better result. Our Team has used nearly every available technology and knows where each works best. eDiscovery Counsel, Cliff Nichols, is often invited to teach others how to use Predictive Coding and he has testified in court concerning its use and effectiveness. The judge in that matter found that the DP Discovery Team's use of this technology “enabled the reviewers on the document analysis teams to work more efficiently with the documents and identify potentially relevant information with greater accuracy than standard linear review. More importantly, the judge confirmed that this approach avoided “the need for prolonged and extensive discovery.
Industry and Matter Specific
The DP Discovery Team knows that not every discovery matter is alike and, although repeatable processes can lead to positive results, we will not apply a cookie-cutter approach to your matter that ignores its unique characteristics. Below are a few examples:
