Relativity Features: Advice and Training

As one of only a handful of Relativity Certified Administrators ("RCAs") in Canada - and perhaps the only Relativity Expert in Canada - David can provide immediate benefits to your Relativity users on everything from searching and Pivot to advanced features like Event Handlers and Dynamic Objects, as well as Structured and Conceptual Analytics and Assisted Review.

We are available to advise on a range of information-management and ediscovery-related topics, including:  

• Litigation Readiness Consulting  
• Skills and process enhancements  
• Appropriate approaches to the cataloguing, capture, processing, indexing and classification of documents, both hard copy and electronic  
• In-house ediscovery, document review and investigations  

We can help you deal with sophisticated defendants and their outside counsel who may not be handling discovery in the cooperative manner called for by the Rules.

• Paper-only productions are not good enough.
• You are entitled to specify the format of production you want.
• You are entitled to useful indexes -- for example, showing Date, Author, Recipients, Subject/Title, Filename and family relationships for each document, not just groups of documents.
• If you want searchable documents (PDFs), you are entitled to them if the original documents were searchable.

We also provide affordable scanning, processing and indexing services so that you can make sense of your own documents.
