ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY
Beyond electronic native file production (e.g. Word, Excel, email) and conversion to image, is the Metadata Quality Control Auditor.
An independent metadata audit can reveal holes, missing and/or orphaned data, ambiguities and discrepancies, which can be costly and time consuming to fix. Verifying data integrity prior to an electronic file production also adds an additional control to reduce risk.
Greg Jackson has extensive experience in managing and auditing terabytes of electronic evidence, equivalent to tens of thousands of boxes of paper.

Electronic evidence, especially email and instant messaging, has become the "smoking gun".
While Forensic investigators harvest data from hard drives and optical disks, there is a step that is frequently overlooked. After electronic files are reviewed by the legal team and ready to produce, who is doing the final quality check of the electronic data?
Most attorneys are not equipped to handle an electronic audit of digital data. While electronic discovery vendors implement quality checkpoints throughout the electronic evidentiary process. how do you check the quality of their work? Running an independant audit of the electronic data may save you a big headache in the end.
Case law is flooded with electronic discovery issues. The question that should be asked is: who checks the checkers?
