Flex to offer Clearwell as an Early Case Assessment Option

Flex Discovery Solutions and Clearwell Systems will work together to solve Early Case Assessment (ECA) needs of its clients.

Today Flex Discovery Solutions and Clearwell Systems reached an agreement which will enable Flex Discovery Solutions to offer the industry-leading Clearwell technology to its clients. Early Case Assessment has become an essential step to reducing litigation costs.

According to Clearwell: Once case data has been collected, the traditional approach to early case assessment forces corporations and law firms to launch massive review efforts that entail several attorneys or paralegals who are allocated portions of the data for manual review. These reviewers spend many days sifting through irrelevant messages and redundant data. As a result, early case assessments aren't actually performed early. In fact, weeks often pass before attorneys can understand the true context of a case and determine the appropriate case strategy. Clearwell’s early case assessment approach is about working smarter, not harder. With Clearwell, attorneys complete early case assessment well before manual review. Inside and outside counsel teams use Clearwell’s advanced searching, culling and filtering features to rapidly navigate through discussion threads, custodial documents, and message attachments to get a better sense of their position on each case. The Clearwell approach enables early case assessments to be performed much earlier in the electronic data discovery process, which leads to superior case knowledge, improved case strategy decisions, and better preparation for the Meet and Confer.

“Simply put, you need to reduce the amount of data going into review while improving the quality and relevance of the information. Early Case Assessment is a critical way to quickly understand case facts, assess risk, and lower the costs of e-discovery processing and review,” said Steven S. McNew, President of Flex Discovery Solutions, “we are thrilled to be among the select companies able to offer Clearwell to the market place.”
