Allzone Document review services significantly reduce the time and expense of document review, which is historically the most costly phase of e-discovery. Our full-time lawyers conduct privilege and responsiveness reviews from onshore and offshore centers that we own and operate. Our scalable, rigorous, and defensible review processes deliver predictable, consistent, high-quality results.

We offer options for blending onshore and offshore review, making Allzone one of the most flexible providers in the business. A multi-shore “follow the sun” approach allows for around-the-clock progress and replaces the extra costs for traditional overnight staffing with the significant savings of offshore review.

• The primary purpose of first-level document review is to review documents and determine whether or not they're "responsive" or "non-responsive" as they pertain to a specific legal case or issue. In essence, first level document review forms part of the discovery phase of litigation.
• The increase in electronically stored information (ESI), such as e-mail, instant messages, electronic documents and data on handheld devices over the years, has radically changed the litigation practice.
• Litigation aside, aspects of first level document review are also routinely performed in matters of regulatory compliance and corporate due diligence.

This may be the most important stage of the review process. Our premise is simple: We should have all of the advantages of reviewing paper documents, while leveraging the benefits of electronic documentation. The Workflow Director gives reviewers the same annotation capabilities that are used in the paper-based review process – and more! Annotations and markups can take the form of sticky notes, free-form drawings and text highlights. If a reviewer’s comments are extensive, voice annotations can be used. Additionally, reviewers can attach files to markups to fully document the corrections (e.g. graphics, spreadsheet, text document).

During the approval stage, it is important to have the ability to see all reviewers’ comments in an easy to use, visual manner. The Workflow Director also provides the workflow mechanism necessary to allow the accepted changes and requests from the reviewers to be routed back to the author(s) so the document can be updated. This part of the workflow process allows all of the reviewers’ comments in their original form to be routed back to the author.

The number of inter- and intra-office communications has increased many-fold, and law firms and corporate counsel offices are now expected to preserve and make available for potential discovery all such records. Attorneys can become mired in the relatively pedantic task of identifying first-level responsive documents for production in e-discovery process instead of meeting with clients and devising litigation strategy.
