Small to mid-size firms are sometimes at a disadvantage when litigating against larger firms or competing for litigation engagements. The disadvantage isn’t the capabilities of the attorneys, but simply the access the larger firms have to expensive software and staff that process and manage discovery. Firms often cobble together tools to convert discovery data such as email, word processing documents, image PDFs, and pictures. The process of reviewing documents for production, analyzing them for case development, and producing them can be a real challenge.
How to Compete
A cohesive, complete, capable and reasonably priced tool for handling discovery documents has been elusive for smaller firms. There are plenty tools on the market, but few that can perform at a high level while running on most networks without additional hardware investment. A larger firm thinks nothing of installing three, four or five servers to handle litigation data. A smaller firm may have one or two servers, and multi-server requirements put many litigation tools out of their reach. IPRO, a leading litigation software company has developed IPRO EclipseSE to help the smaller firm compete.
