When making a decision on whether or not to outsource an ediscovery job, there are many questions you may wish to ask yourself.

Accurately assessing the volume of ESI to be reviewed is crucial.  Can your litigation support team manage the workload and properly leverage your internal ediscovery solution?  What resources will opposing counsel be using?

After answering those questions, check out the EDRM model.  Where is your firm in this stage of litigation?  Are you in an early phase – forensically preserving and collecting documents, or are you looking for a solution to search and cull documents?  Maybe the overall volume of ESI is small and you’re looking to review documents, or ready to produce them to opposing counsel.

As the linked article says, there is usually a need for balance in ediscovery.  It’s important to stay on top of new technologies in litigation support software – this area is always changing and efficient vendors can emerge quickly.  Consult your legal team about their needs for each particular case so you are on the same page.
