E-discovery & Litigation Support

Work frequently needs to be carried out under great time pressure, whilst maintaining quality and ensuring compliance with Luxembourg, and possibly foreign, laws and regulations. In e-discovery context, there are ever increasing amounts of data to examine, from a variety of sources (e.g. social media) and in a variety of formats, making it hard to remain efficient.

How Deloitte can help?
 

• e-discovery readiness - Deloitte can help prepare organisations to be better prepared to face e-discovery requests, significantly increasing the ability to speed up any e-discovery process, as well as the ability to meet the requirements laid down by the courts
• e-discovery response - Deloitte can assist organisation in responding to an e-discovery request. We can help an organisation secure, collect, analyse, review, produce and present data in a “reasonable and proportional manner”, as required by courts
