In the long run, a Litigation Response Plan lowers the cost of outside vendors, counsel, and internal resources, while also allowing efficient, low-stress, electronic discovery. Immediately, you will reduce the data population to review and find the critical files and email to settle cases faster. In turn, this will reduce costs and get those files closed. Additionally, it substantially reduces many risks such as improper preservation or spoliation, searching live systems or indefensible collection practices, or a chain of custody problems, inadvertently disclosing confidential corporate data, the discovery of relevant data too late, or reprocessing data, which leads to much more costs and delays.
