Keys to Planning Effective Document Review

Keys to Planning Effective Document Review

"Lawyers planning a document review project may manage it themselves, staffing the project with lawyers from their firm or outside contract attorneys. Another option is to hire an independent document review company. Either way, lawyers need to answer key questions to ensure they get the best value for their clients.

Lawyers often like to manage their own document review and pay reviewers by the hour. This allows them to control the process and keeps reviewers on the firm's premises, where monitoring their work is easy. Also, firms that hire contract attorneys can bill their clients at rates above the contract lawyers' cost, so reviews can make money for the firm."
