Cutting-Edge Knowledge of Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence Gathering
As technology grows in its complexity and ushers in a transition to a paperless world, the process of gathering evidence becomes more difficult. Requests for information no longer result in boxes filed with volumes of paper files. Using and storing business information in the form of electronic data is now the rule, not the exception. Surveys show that corporate counsel consider E-Discovery to be the top concern for in-house legal departments.
At Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP, our attorneys strive to stay on the cutting edge of technology, specifically when it comes to electronic discovery and managing the lifecycle of vital digital evidence.
Our responsibility to our clients is to ensure that their electronic data is preserved for future access in evidence gathering. The inability to preserve data or the loss or damage to information relating to a lawsuit can result in severe penalties. Contact our firm at 650-917-8045. We have San Jose-area offices and a San Francisco-area office in the Silicon Valley to help you.
The Challenges Faced in Maintaining Electronic Files
The transition of any company from paper to electronic files is challenging. Printed documents have been replaced by Word files and Excel spreadsheets. Businesses now depend on computer databases. Letters in envelopes have given way to e-mails in Outlook folders. Desktop computers, laptops, USB drives, zip drives, portable devices and databases are now the new filing cabinets. We are also seeing a transition to cloud computing involving the use of applications and storage of data online. Discovery is now e-discovery.
Protecting that data is vital, especially if your company is subjected to an investigation that requires evidence gathering.
Too Much is at Stake to Lose Valuable Data
At Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP, we understand what is at stake. When a California-based company fails to provide evidence because of the loss or corruption of the data, or a technical failure, suspicions arise and penalties can be assessed against it. A court can issue sanctions, affecting the company's bottom line and industry reputation. Sanctions can even result in losing a case.
Secure the services of a law firm committed to innovation and preserving your vital electronic data.
Attorneys staffed by medium and large corporations often find it difficult to stay consistently abreast of the latest in technological developments. If you require assistance with any matter relating to E-discovery and digital evidence, Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP attorneys are singularly well equipped to provide it.
