Altep will first work with your IT department to create a “data map” so that all key persons know where all the data resides. Next we’ll spend time with the various corporate departments, especially legal and IT, to ensure that their document retention program functions the way it should; for big companies, this can be an arduous process.  These proactive methods create a more defensible climate for all future litigation and make it possible to go into each case at an advantage.

Now that the Federal Rules have been amended to explicitly direct parties to account for all electronically stored information, it is imperative that corporate counsel possess a thorough understanding of the organization’s electronic information infrastructure. Attorneys can no longer wait for IT personnel to deliver the data - instead, attorneys must be meaningfully involved.  Altep can help with our data mapping and consulting.
