LOS ANGELES, CA, Jun 26 (MARKET WIRE) --
ACT Litigation Services, Inc., a leading provider of digital document
management, electronic discovery and litigation management consulting for
corporate legal departments and law firms, announces its metrics-driven
offshore attorney document review service. Based in the Philippines and
India, this new offering includes responsiveness review, issue coding and
privilege review and applies ACT's management and metrics/analytics
requirements to provide clients with quality process capabilities at a
capped, per-page price.
"Our studies show that 75% to 90% of the all-in cost of discovery stems
from attorney document review," said Steve Marks, CEO of ACT Litigation
Services. "ACT has always been committed to reducing discovery expenses
for our clients, and our metrics-driven offshore review service is
designed to achieve the lowest all-in cost while increasing both quality
and efficiency."
ACT recently completed its first major review project, which included a
high-level privilege review with issue coding of more than 20 million
pages in two months. By combining this offering with ACT's existing
electronic discovery offerings, the team was able to process, review and
produce more than 1 million pages per week.
The offering is spearheaded by Jeff Samples, ACT's Director of Client
Services, who has nearly 18 years of experience in law firm practice
support and automated discovery management. "The key is metrics and
quality analytics," said Samples. "By using Six Sigma processes, sampling
and statistical process control we are able to achieve higher accuracy
rates than typical document review methodologies -- including that of
most law firms in the U.S."
ACT's offshore review service is staffed by more than 170 attorneys (JDs
and licensed attorneys) in Mandaue City, Philippines and in Noida, India.
In addition to Samples, two U.S. licensed attorneys manage the review
projects from ACT's Los Angeles Data Lab, both of whom have many years of
review project management experience.
ACT's centers in the Philippines and India are ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/IEC
27001:2005 certified and include dual-monitor workstations, scalable
architecture and high-level physical and technical security. In addition,
ACT's on-site and stateside management focuses on integration with lead
counsel and provides intense training, certifications, case qualifications
and on-going quality assurance.
