Managed Review
When you engage Legalpeople for Managed Review, one of Legalpeople's in-house Project Managers will be assigned to guide your matter from beginning to end.
Legalpeople Project Managers have managed hundreds of projects of varying complexity, with multiple workflows and teams of all sizes up to 200+ review attorneys. Our Project Managers have the industry experience to anticipate project issues, present workable solutions, and promote project defensibility. Using our Project Managers as part of your review team will help your review get done on time and on budget.
Legalpeople offers two levels of Project Management to our clients. eDiscovery Project Management (eDPM), which requires about 5-10 hours per week, and Review Team Management (RTM), which requires less time and is appropriate for staffing projects managed directly by our clients. The benefits of both are described below.
