eDiscovery Legal Tech

eDiscovery (electronic discovery) is the digital component of litigation discovery: identifying, preserving, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to legal requests. eDiscovery encompasses data collection (from servers, devices, cloud services), processing (converting to review-ready format), review (document-by-document assessment for relevance and privilege), and production (handing over to opposing counsel). The field is driven by legal rules (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, GDPR, CCPA) and growing data volumes. Technology (machine learning, analytics) is increasingly central to managing scale and cost.
