E-Discovery an Overview
E-Discovery is the identification, collection, preservation, processing, review, reporting and disclosure of electronic data in regulatory, civil and criminal environments. As well as the policies, procedures and legal compliance to support the process and validate the facts. As part of our E-Discovery service, we assist clients in conducting electronic discovery projects more effectively by providing a platform for the secure and confidential exchange of information during judicial matters. The function of LexTrado is to process data which is received in accordance with instruction and to present such findings in an efficient and effective platform for legal review.
Our Process





The Lextrado Difference
Although there are many companies in SA who can assist a client to identify and collect all relevant data, at the end of the day it is up to the client or legal team to sift through hundreds of thousands of pages of relevant data. Faced with this challenge, LexTrado has, after careful evaluation, selected a number of international software platforms which, in combination, can assist your team in this regard on a cost effective manner in a price range which is acceptable in South Africa. LexTrado can host all your data which must be reviewed on our reviewing platform or deploy our platform in your organisation. This allows your team to easily review documents, categorise them and scare the information. Your team can now review data from any location in the world on a centralized database and in real time see comments from other team members, exclude previously reviewed documents or identify documents which has not been reviewed yet.
