Burdensome Requests

When opposing counsel is asking for too much, respond with a strong argument and a smart solution.

Burdensome Discovery Requests

Why their request won’t work

Throughout the discovery process it can be tricky to respond to interrogatories and document production requests. Production requests are often pulled from a template that is overly broad and burdensome. Responding “no” is often not enough. The Forensic Discovery team will establish a strong argument of why the current request won’t work. This may include difficulty to access data, costs, of collection, the likelihood of unique relevant information, costs of processing and most importantly the estimated billable time for an attorney to review the data.

Provide a better plan

After our affidavit establishes the original request as unreasonable, our experts will provide a more reasonable and cost-effective approach to the court. Our efforts often yield the most cost-effective discovery process and the ability to meet discovery deadlines. The Forensic Discovery team has a stellar track record of clients receiving a favorable court order after our affidavit is submitted.

The Proof is in the Results

Mr. Walton provided an affidavit regarding developing an alternative and more reasonable electronic data preservation and processing required of ASARCO. The affidavit resulted in the court granting Mr. Walton’s approach bringing the estimated eDiscovery costs from an estimated $566,452.12 to $73,270.00.

Insufficient Productions

Productions received from opposing counsel are often incomplete and in a burdensome format. Poor productions may be due to technical negligence or could be intentional. Our experts can provide guidance on why a production may be insufficient and draft an affidavit explaining what needs to be done to supplement the current production and for future productions.

Forensics Testimony

If your case requires a forensic analysis, we provide affidavits, reports and testimony based on our findings. One of our most common reports is the Theft of Trade Secrets Triage. Forensic Discovery offers a device triage service to determine whether confidential business information and intellectual property has been taken without authorization. We then provide a detailed report to help answer questions related to data exfiltration and determine if the case requires further analysis.
