Our solutions can address your discovery requirements for local and cross-border regulatory investigations, litigation, internal investigations, document review, and more.

Our document review services utilize the best mix of people, process, and technology to perform data relevance and categorization functions before submitting production responses to a requesting agency. This helps streamline investigations and ensures that all relevant documents are produced. Our processes and technology are secure and defensible, as we conduct regular audits and risk assessments combined with an advanced intelligence network to continually evaluate potential security risks.

Experience in complex legal matters

Our team can offer strategic advice and assistance with complicated issues including local and cross-border regulatory investigations and civil litigation that is rich in data. A key discovery tool that promotes cost reduction and maintains efficiency is using AI-based technology to significantly reduce your data set that needs to be reviewed. Once reduced, it is easier to isolate compliant documents and have a quick production turn to the requesting agency or court.

Customizable options with the ability to scale

Epiq understands that some projects require minimal assistance while others can require a team of thousands, and that needs can fluctuate throughout the course of a case or investigation. We customize recommendations based on what will work best for your team and specific matter. Our technology expertise can also help you scale down the actual requirements. Being able to provide a one-stop shop for all your hosting, processing, and review needs will significantly streamline response time while still preserving defensibility and value.
