Early Case Assessment

Early Case Assessment (ECA) may be the single most effective strategy for controlling litigation costs. Capital Legal assists counsel to “get their arms around” their entire information universe, to weed out the large percentage of irrelevant data, and to estimate the cost to review and produce the truly important information. This enables counsel to make informed strategic decisions early in the case, conserving resources and optimizing the chance of a successful outcome. Key techniques in our ECA arsenal include:

• Comprehensive data inventory
• Metrics on time and cost of review and production
• Intelligent culling using multiple filtering and deduplication techniques
• Standard search methodologies augmented by sophisticated analytics
• Organizational techniques such as clustering, email threading and near deduplication
