One of the biggest impacts the Covid-19 pandemic has had on industry as a whole is the move to remote working. While in some industries the effects of remote working have been hit or miss, in eDiscovery the transition between in-office and hybrid/remote review has actually been a fairly smooth one... At least, that is how we have observed it.

Being able to offer quality project support regardless of the working environment is a goal the Altlaw team strives towards daily, and as such, we have come up with several strategies for facilitating remote eDiscovery that ensure the efficacy of your review is never compromised. 

Hybrid or Fully Remote? 

The first question to ask yourself is whether or not you want your review to be hybrid or fully remote. While both are perfectly doable, from experience we would definitely recommend at least starting off with a hybrid style review.

At Altlaw we always begin our projects with training sessions to bring your review team up to speed on the Relativity software and specific matters of your case. These training sessions can be completed remotely or in-person, though we have found, especially at the beginning of a project, that the ability for your reviewers and the rest of your team to be able to ask questions of our project managers and receive immediate answers is very beneficial, not to mention in-person training promotes a good team dynamic. 

If, however, completely remote is the only way to go we have several tools and strategies in place to ensure your review is still effective and efficient. One of our expert review managers will will be able to guide you on which strategies work best with your circumstances to bring about the most efficient review possible.
