Evidence Management for Litigation Teams

 
In addition to Iken Case and Matter Management, Iken Business delivers additional solutions specifically to support Evidence Management and Litigation Teams. These solutions include Searchlight Evidence Management.
 
Searchlight originates from Canada and has been used successfully in many high profile cases in the US and Canada, including Enron, Hollinger and the Air India Defence, to help transform overwhelming amounts of evidential material into compelling arguments for litigation purposes. Iken Business has partnered with Searchlight to deliver this powerful solution to our clients and other companies in the UK and Europe.
 
Searchlight Evidence Management provides litigation lawyers with the ideal toolkit to:

• Intelligently amass and manage evidence in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional manual evidence discovery techniques
• Increase ability to find relevant information, with lawyers spending less time wading through irrelevant data
• Organise evidence meaningfully, using a system that works in a natural and flexible way 
• Facilitate secure and controlled collaboration between different parties including lawyers, co-counsel, clients, advisers and experts
