Legal Document Scanning for eDisclosure

Many companies in the legal sector have switched from physical file disclosure to eDisclosure to embrace the benefits of going digital. At Pearl Scan Legal our scanning and document management services have been specially designed to assist eDisclosure processes.

Legal scanning for eDisclosure digitises your files and documents and implements software to provide a streamlined solution to help you share case related files quickly and easily. With digitised documents in this workable system you can get the exact information you need, precisely when you need it.

Working with the best and most up-to-date technology, Pearl Scan Legal have the capability to provide scanning and entire data extraction and culling. This offers a more affordable option than a full extraction so you can get what you need and the rest can be discarded. We can extract data from scanned documents on a range of formats in a wide range of languages. This complete solution gives us the opportunity to convert non-text-searchable files, like PDFs and re-import the OCR’d (Optical Character Recognition) files back as searchable text files to replace the original file.

Legal Scanning for eDiscovery

The way you manage your documents is incredibly important for the eDiscovery process. Often, just storing documents electronically is not enough to ensure an efficient system.

If you work in litigation support, we can streamline your eDiscovery process with our legal document management solutions.

The system can search through large quantities of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and extract the relevant data in PDF or TIFF form.

You can;

• Store files electronically without the worry of not finding them when needed.
• Save time searching through litigation documents.
• Save costs wasted through unproductive file retrieval tasks.
• Store and retrieve fully compliant digital documents.
