First Advantage Litigation Consulting, a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company and global leader in eDisclosure software and services, today announced the expansion of its London document review centre by taking an additional floor at 4 St. Paul’s Churchyard. Complementing First Advantage’s existing forensics, eDisclosure and data hosting capabilities, the new state-of-the-art facility can accommodate 75 reviewers and is ideally suited to support large scale, multilingual document review projects involving highly sensitive data.
April 2013 will bring a number of significant reforms to the management of litigation in England and Wales. Lord Justice Jackson, who presided over the civil justice reforms, noted that clients required both transparency and predictability with regard to time scales and costs. The reforms, amongst other things, will extend the obligation to exchange information to a wider range of cases, and it will give judges more wide-ranging powers to order disclosure appropriate to the case by replacing the present form of disclosure with a range of possible court orders. The reforms will also provide for costs management in the form of budgets to be agreed or ordered by the court.
