Early Case Assessment (ECA) is a strategic risk evaluation process executed at the onset of legal disputes to estimate potential liabilities, exposure, and discovery expenditures accurately. Combining rapid data indexing, custodian interview mapping, concept clustering, and Early Search Term Validation (STV), legal teams leverage ECA to make data-driven decisions regarding early settlement strategies, legal hold scopes, and Rule 26(f) meet-and-confer negotiations. Learn how to execute defensible data reduction prior to processing, lowering total eDiscovery costs by up to 70%.
