MasterFile ‘s ediscovery solution makes short work of the ediscovery process.
Whether you run a simple Google type search or a sophisticated query, search results load nearly instantaneously, no matter how complex your search criteria or how large your document set, so you hone in on exactly what you’re looking for. For example, proximity search will find documents where ‘Lorem’ and ‘sadipscing’ occur in the same sentence and rank them by how close together the words are.

MasterFile has what you need from simple to complex production. A simple 3-step, point and click process lets you produce in native, PDF or mixed formats with endorsement stamping, customized Bates numbering, and more. Maintain privilege by redacting data anywhere on a document too. Clean copies are always left in the case database, where all productions and multiple disclosures of documents are automatically tracked.
Production takes place in a MasterFile ‘briefcase’ which also serves as an archive for the produced documents. Automate tasks to avoid common errors, link production sets, and reuse production settings to save time and get a head start on whatever’s next.
Evidence is much more than a bunch of documents.
That’s why MasterFile’s robust fact management lets you craft case strategy as you review right in MasterFile itself. Its collaborative repository organizes the most relevant documents, exhibits and transcripts as you capture, organize and evaluate important facts, identify key players and issues, plot your timeline, and connect the dots to uncover who said what when, and why.
Never waste time and money with post-review tools or multiple products for litigation, again.
Why choose MasterFile as your document review software for small matter ediscovery?
Most ediscovery cases are relatively simple, contain under 5gb of data and have less than 5 custodians. That’s often true even for complex litigation. They essentially involve two steps:
Moreover,
Collaborative ediscovery technology for small law firms must manage all that without fuss: A few clicks and MasterFile loads electronic documents in batch. A simple three-step process lets you produce in native, PDF or mixed format. Witness files form connections between witnesses, documents, and issues. And as you review, MasterFile’s integrated case analysis and ediscovery tools let you dive deep into facts, issues and event chronologies on-the-fly to build the story behind your case.
How are production tasks managed in MasterFile?
Production in MasterFile gives the solo and small firm affordable, sophisticated tools that work simply and easily to quickly respond to document production requests and production deadlines.
A single copy of every document and transcript is maintained which greatly simplifies trial preparation too. Deposition exhibits can be given new Bates numbers, new dates recorded and clean copies generated for use at trial or electronic display, production or disclosure – since notes and annotations made throughout the life of the case remain in MasterFile.
Production tasks are managed in a simple three step process that separates the selection of documents to be produced from their actual production. This means team members can proceed with production independently and counsel collaborating as necessary. You can produce in PDF, TIF and native format depending on the form of production in disclosure requirements, agreements between the parties on how native documents will be managed throughout the discovery process, etc.
Accumulating the documents to produce.
Production starts by you and/or your team accumulating the documents to be produced in a special MasterFile database called a briefcase. It takes one-click to get started. And you can collaborate on many different production requests, from the same or other matters, simultaneously.
Document review, selection and accumulation does not have to be completed at one sitting but can be completed as time is available or as documents are found. So you can add, review or remove documents from the production briefcase at anytime — even if you’re on the road and disconnected from the office network.
Synchronization keeps everyone collaborating on the production up to date, automatically.
You’re automatically alerted if you try to add privileged documents or if the document has already been added to the briefcase for production, helping to prevent mistakes. MasterFile does not assign document/Bates numbers when documents are added to the briefcase, but only when production actually starts. This means “gaps” in Bates number sequences are impossible so you don’t have to deal with such complexities that plague other systems.
How it works – importing native email
Simply select specific emails to load from Outlook, any Outlook PST or Notes NSF mailbox file, native email files like .MSG or .EML, or connect to webmail.
MasterFile extracts values such as date, document type, author (from), recipient, CC, etc., (as well as metadata like Internet routing) automatically from each e-mail and populates the email’s profile fields. Native emails are converted to PDF on the fly and both versions stored on import.
E-mail attachments are extracted and linked preserving the e-mail/attachment relationship.
Text and metadata is extracted so you can highlight key facts, added them to the case chronology and link to relevant issues in one click.
