DRS Associate
Our Financial Advisory Services (FAS) practice offers preeminent advice to clients on critical financial and economic events and transactions facing their businesses. Within the FAS practice, our Forensic & Dispute Services ("F&DS") service area helps legal counsel and clients with challenging financial and economic issues in complex litigation, investigations and other business dispute cases. Document Review Services (DRS) is an integral part of the F&DS service area; professionals in this service line are involved in the review of vast amounts of documents gathered by attorneys and their clients with respect to corporate investigations and disputes. The team of legal specialists in this group are involved in determining whether or not the documents and their contents are relevant to the case at hand, and identifying key issues that will help support the analysis for the investigation.
The Document Review professionals of Deloitte FAS provide a strategic and cost effective option for law firms and their clients. The depth of our knowledge and the sophistication of our processes set us apart from others. We can assist through the entire process, from document identification and collection to processing, hosting, and document review-all designed to result in an efficient document production process. We offer a sophisticated review operation that leverages technology and follows client procedures intended to protect privilege, conceal trade secrets, and comply with privacy requirements. We have years of experience with review protocols, and our approach is focused on assisting clients to avoid sanctions while minimizing the costs of meeting production obligations. Since Deloitte FAS does not engage in the practice of law, its services are provided under the direction and supervision of client's legal counsel, who establish document review guidelines.
