eDiscovery & Regulatory Services
When managing an investigation or legal dispute, organisations often have large volumes of data that they need to collect, process and analyse to identify an appropriate set of documents for legal review.
Commonly, organisations are operating under tight timeframes and budgetary constraints—all while needing to be certain they are meeting their legal and regulatory obligations.
How we can help
Allens' eDiscovery and regulatory services offer market-leading technology and review solutions to help you collect, manage and review your data in the most efficient and cost-effective way. Our services can be leveraged directly by corporate legal teams for matters they wish to run internally, as well as when engaging Allens to provide broader legal services.
We provide flexible consulting, legal technology and document-review services for litigation matters, internal investigations and regulator notice responses.
