With over 90% of all business records now being created electronically and over 70% of those records never being printed, Electronic Data Discovery, or eDiscovery, has become a critical component of the discovery and production process. Using eDiscovery, electronic files such as spreadsheets, word documents, etc., are converted into uniform image and data files that can be loaded directly into litigation support software.

PLG offers a full range of eDiscovery services assisting corporations and law firms to gather, filter, review and reduce massive electronic data collections into a litigation ready database. Whether information is stored on backup tapes, hard disks,CDs/DVDs or other storage media, PLG has the expertise and technology to extract computer files from their storage media.

PLG’s approach follows the eDiscovery workflow through 5 stages: Planning, Preservation & Collection, Processing, Review and Production. We can assist at any point in the workflow as your needs dictate.

Planning

To maximize efficiencies and minimize costs, PLG consultants will work with your team to develop an eDiscovery strategy.

Preservation & Collection

The preservation of data is critical and our consultants are well versed in preservation strategies. Where necessary we employ forensic collection techniques using industry standard and court proven tools and methodologies.

Processing

PLG's processing services focuses on the preparation of the data collected for use in all common litigation databases and to facilitate effective and efficient review in either
native file format or image (Tagged Image File Format or Portable Document Format).

Review

To ensure the integrity of data files, duplicates are identified and/or removed and keyword searching is performed to further reduce the amount of data to be considered.

Production

PLG assists with your production needs by providing image creation from native files, endorsing images and the production of data and images in a variety of formats.
