THE FORTÉ WAY.
E-discovery can be costly and cumbersome, and in the age of cloud computing, big data, mobile devices, and social media, it’s more complex than ever before. Our approach — informed by knowledgeable and technically savvy attorneys working closely with industry veterans and experts — is designed to make the entire process better.
This powerful combination defines the FORTÉ way.
A SMALLER FUNNEL.
At all stages of the e-discovery process we employ a surgical approach to reduce unnecessary review costs and inflated hosting fees. In many cases, smartly deployed, automated processes drastically decrease the need for traditional human document review.
Getting to the right starting point does not always begin with technological bells and whistles. A well-planned meet-and-confer conference can often significantly reduce burden and costs and serve as a strategic alignment of discovery efforts that are feasible, reasonable, and proportional to the case.
A scalable approach.
No two e-discovery projects are the same. Each client confronts a different challenge, and solutions are seldom found in rigid templates and legacy platforms. The beauty of our approach is in our ability to fully customize it for different matters, from purely consultative advice to full-scope e-discovery efforts. Our approach remains flexible and allows us to adapt to the needs of our client.
An unparalleled level of expertise.
From our first conversations about designing a better way, we knew that whatever we built had to match the knowledge and expertise of our legal team. It was a lofty goal, but an important one.
Too often, we’ve seen vendors in this space who don’t understand the nuances and complexities of the legal world. Just as often, many lawyers are unprepared to oversee technical experts and vendors, with both sides speaking in different languages. That results in huge inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and avoidable errors. You will not find that here.
A guided experience.
We are not here to showcase our intellect. We are here to empower our clients. There is a highly technical dimension to our offering, but our role extends far beyond simply measuring gigabytes and tweaking coding panes. We offer an exhaustive understanding of the e-discovery process and the ability to help our clients guide and shape matters effectively. We help them navigate challenges, understand options, and make smart decisions every step of the FORTÉ way.
A smarter use of technology.
We believe technology exists to help us do things better. From data processing techniques that ensure efficient and complete review of relevant information to continual analysis and quality control of output, everything we do is designed to create end-to-end data integrity in a highly focused manner. We use the latest and proven tools in predictive analysis and machine- learning algorithms, from concept clustering to automated categorization, to get the most from every hour of attorneys’ time.
