Client need

The client was under significant time and cost pressure to complete a large-scale document review project in anticipation of a securities class action lawsuit.

Why Epiq

The client turned to Epiq for our dedicated team of pharma industry specialists and experience in complex pharmaceutical litigation matters. Our deep understanding of pharma litigation challenges guided an aggressive yet defensible strategy of data analysis and reduction, cost-efficient and high-quality managed review, complex productions, privilege review, logging, and redactions, and HIPAA de-identification redactions
