Our E-Discovery Capabilities

✔︎ Comprehensive Document Review

Streamlined analysis of extensive data sets, including emails (Singlish/mixed-language support), WhatsApp/WeChat history, contracts, and financial records. We extract essential information crucial for High Court disputes and arbitration tribunals.

✔︎ Advanced Search & TAR

✔︎ Data Management & PDPA Compliance

Expert management of large volumes of digital records with a strict adherence to Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). We minimize the risks associated with handling Sensitive Personal Identifying Information (SPII) during the review process.

✔︎ Litigation & Arbitration Support

✔︎ Cost-Effective Strategies

By optimizing the e-discovery process, we help you align with the Rules of Court 2021 principles of proportionality, avoiding unnecessary expenses while ensuring a robust search for material documents.

Our E-Discovery Process

1. Consultation & Scoping

We identify your specific legal needs and define the scope of discovery to ensure compliance with relevant Practice Directions, avoiding the pitfalls of "fishing expeditions."

2. Forensic Data Collection

Extracting documents and digital content from local servers, cloud environments, and mobile devices while maintaining a strict Chain of Custody admissible in Singapore courts.

3. Intelligent Data Processing

Employing skilled analysts and advanced software tools to process data, filter out duplicates (de-duplication), and identify critical pieces of information using keyword and concept searching.

4. Review and Reporting

Delivering organized findings and privilege logs. We generate export sets formatted specifically for legal review platforms or for direct submission to court/opposing counsel.
