Electronic Discovery Services

Electronic discovery, or electronic evidence, is the process of securing or producing electronic documents like word processing files, spreadsheets, emails, other electronic records, and comparable media.

Legal Services Solutions and IPSOFACTO have created customized and highly efficient electronic data discovery (EDD) by servicing law firms and corporations with file extraction and conversion services. LSS focuses on timely, accurate, high-volume conversion of electronic data files. Our software applications are designed specifically for this purpose.
