Although discovery is designed to ensure that all parties are well-informed before trial, courts need not tolerate discovery that is inefficient, time-consuming, or ill-suited to the economics of the case. Accordingly, proportionality is an essential component of every discovery schedule.

The best way to avoid or ultimately defeat a proportionality challenge is to develop a discovery strategy that substantially reduces the potential for successful objections.

We believe our advanced approach to proportional preservation, early data assessment and minimization, workflow design and expert use of advanced review technologies can create a smarter and more cost-effective approach for our clients.
