When the FTC issued a second request for documents in a recent antitrust case, the defendant's legal team faced a strict 30-day deadline for collecting, reviewing and producing electronic files scattered over multiple hard drives and computer servers.

An early case assessment estimated the number of documents at around 359,000. The legal team hired Ignited Discovery, a leading service provider, to help cull the documents. De-duplication, date parameters, and searching helped but the number of documents remained overwhelming at 187,000.

TIME TO PANIC?

Despite the challenge, the team didn't panic. They recognized that de-duplication is just the first step.

What happened next is captured in the new case study, How to Review 359,000 Documents in Less Than 30 Days.

In this case study, by Russ Kaulback of Ignited Discovery, you'll learn:

• How the team further reduced the collection by more than 62,000 documents.
  
  
• Why email messages in particular posed such a challenge.
  
  
• How the legal team prevented inadvertently disclosing privileged documents.
