Practice Overview

At Ankura, our eDiscovery team understands that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

We carefully customize our approach to ensure an efficient and well-planned deployment of resources and technology. This includes tracking and documenting critical data points and decisions within each project, and providing proactive status updates and timely reports and metrics on critical milestones, including de-duplication statistics, culling / search term rates, review progress, and production metrics.
