The Full Story

Our client had to comply with a discovery request that required review of close to 100,000 documents relating to Breach of Trust by the former Trustees. The biggest obstacle in complying with this request was the challenging timelines, as well as a lack of exposure to available legal technology, a limited number of in-house resources, and unfamiliarity with key processes to expedite and enhance the review.

With LDM’s years of experience, our team of lawyers reviewed hundreds of pages of pleadings to create concise Review Guidelines.
