Our Document Review & Management Process

This process involves the review of vast numbers of legal documents. The costs of document review are a large portion of total litigation costs. At Flatworld Solutions, we provide superior document management and review services at cost-friendly rates to companies, law firms, and, legal research firms across the world. Our team of legal experts follows proven management practices and document review procedures. We are equipped with robust technological infrastructure which enables us to review your documents within short turnaround time.

At Flatworld, our review teams specialize in multiple levels of document review, leveraging a range of attorneys and legal professionals to create rock-solid cases for our clients. Our systematic approach towards legal document review includes the following steps -

 

01. Finding Underlying Case Information

It is extremely hard to conduct an efficient review without understanding the underlying issues of the case. As a result, we begin by first understanding the case literature, checking the keywords, key names, date ranges, etc. This helps us getting prepped and ready to take on the challenges of the next stage while examining the contents of all documents.

 

02. Case Strategy

After understanding the entire factual background of the case in question, we begin to understand what exactly your legal team hopes to achieve. This is essential since many prosecutions depend on discovery and document review if they want to pursue the case further, or prepare for a settlement. We believe in letting the facts speak the story as it is, and ensures that it allows you to fine-tune your approach, whether it has to be more defensive or aggressive.

 

03. Document Tagging

One of the key phases of the process as your legal document review service provider is document tagging. Consistency is the key here, as all our reviewers use a common set of tags to apply to the documents, after getting approval for using the same from you. Based upon the case objective, we either employ a simplistic approach (relevant, not-required, or privileged) or go in-depth (case lead, unfavorable, neutral, in favor, etc.). The key here is all our reviewers understand the process, ensuring homogeneity throughout.

 

04. Quality Control Checks

One of the realities of the document review process is that even the most experienced reviewers will make mistakes given the scope of the project on hand. Relevant documents might get tagged wrongly, or a confidential document might find its way to the production set. As a result, our quality control measures are by default one of the toughest ones to bypass, by performing regular sampling of reviewed documents, sampling more documents in the important categories, etc.

 

05. Efficient Delivery

Accuracy and thoroughness are our cornerstones as your chosen legal document review service providing company. At the same time, we believe speed and efficiency are also extremely important as large review projects can scale up costs. A strong review team like ours help to manage inflated costs, by performing high-quality document reviews within the stipulated time.

Legal Document Review - Our Key Differentiators

Over the years, we have added numerous value-adds to our legal document review services which allow us to present a compelling case forward for our clients. Some of how we differentiate from competitors while also ensuring maximum benefits for our clients include -

  • Narrow Down Data Volumes

    Controlling the amount of data that has to be reviewed allows us to control the final narrative. Based upon inputs from your end, we aim to reduce the documentation by removing what is unnecessary right at the beginning, while also allowing a way for you to go back to them should some last-minute changes necessitate the same. Our ability to narrow the review funnel ensures we can provide a lot more within the same time duration as compared to any other service provider.

  • Leverage Proportionality

    Ideally, the costs involved during document discovery should be proportional to the value of your case. If you feel that a case is valued at approx. $25,000, we ensure the review part does not run up higher costs, which many other companies can do. Add to this the fact that non-cooperative opposition can lead to a large number of e-discovery requests, further complicating things for the document review process.

    Therefore, at FWS, we always look at potential data volumes and estimate all the document review costs based on historical data. This ensures a clearer communication as per the prices involved, allowing you to plan your budget accordingly.

  • Collaborate with Internal Review Team

    More often than not, corporate legal teams give the project to the service provider and expect the entire document review to be done. We believe that document review should be a mutual effort between both the teams with frequent communication and status updates. We have reaped rich dividends following this policy, and all our clients appreciate the faster and more efficient process which is a hallmark of a good communicative process.

  • Software Advantage

    We are one of the few document review service providers who leverage Technology Assisted Review (TAR) which includes predictive coding tools for faster processing. By incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) within our software, we can address most complex client requirements such as -

    • Search Filtering - We can review documents for specific keywords, word combinations, etc. for relevant document tagging
    • Document Tagging - Consistent tagging is essential during a document review. Using the software, we can apply pre-defined tags to documents, ensuring labels remain consistent throughout
    • Document Redaction - Depending on certain legalities, documents might need to be redacted before being produced to the outside counsel. Our e-discovery software allows us to quickly redact documents (phrases and complete sentences) with ease, simplifying the process
    • Document Batch Processing - Usually, document sets need to be broken into batches for multiple reviewer units. Our software platforms can easily designate tasks based on skill levels while ensuring a proper record is kept for the same
    • Stamping - Also known as Bates numbering, this ensures that as the dispute progresses you always have an easy way to find the reference document in the production set. This is ensured through unique identifier numbers
