Six Common Review and Production Problems: How to Fix Them August 2014 | Page 5

Introduction
Production is the Part You Don’t
Want to Get Wrong

In many instances, the “completion” (pretrial presentation) of an ediscovery project is the “production” of documents that will meet the
requests made by the other side.
The challenge in meeting production requests and specifications can be
the variety of document types - from generic (Microsoft) Word and
Excel documents to (Adobe) PDF. Some collections may also include
CAD drawings, videos, or obscure file formats that are proprietary to an
industry.
Documents may contain privileged information, trade secrets, Personal
Health Information, or Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which
require redaction for appropriate protections.
Since productions themselves are meant to contain the relevant
documents, a well-thought-out production process is key to both
meeting the needs of the production request and the needs of the
client.
