From Collection to Production: Why Boutique Firms Need a Litigation Support Partner

For boutique and mid-sized law firms, eDiscovery can feel like a balancing act with tight deadlines, complex data, and limited internal resources. Yet clients expect precision, defensibility, and speed that rivals Big Law. That’s where partnering with an experienced litigation support provider like Page One makes all the difference.

At Page One, we help manage the entire eDiscovery lifecycle from forensic collection through production, so attorneys can stay focused on what they do best: advocacy and strategy. Partnered with RelativityOne, our team brings the technology, expertise, and workflows that ensure every stage of discovery runs smoothly, defensibly, and efficiently.

1. Forensic Collection and Data Intake

Every strong case starts with a clean, defensible collection. Page One’s certified forensic specialists use industry-leading tools to capture data directly from devices, email systems, and cloud storage platforms making sure to preserve metadata integrity and maintaining a clear chain of custody. Whether collecting mobile data, shared drives, or cloud accounts, our team ensures nothing is missed and everything is collected right the first time.

2. Processing and Early Data Assessment

Once collected, the data moves seamlessly into RelativityOne, where we filter, deNIST, and normalize files for review. Using dashboards and analytics, we help attorneys make early, informed decisions and spotting potential issues before review even begins. This stage often reduces data volumes dramatically, saving clients time and cost downstream.

3. Review and AI-Driven Analysis

RelativityOne’s AI tools, including aiR for Review and email threading, allow reviewers to zero in on what matters most. Page One’s project managers, each with deep Relativity experience, design customized workflows and leverage automation to eliminate redundancy, highlight privileged content, and speed up fact-finding. The result: a faster path to insight, without sacrificing accuracy.

4. Production and Delivery

Productions are where precision meets performance. Page One ensures all productions meet ESI agreements, client specifications and meet our rigorous quality control standards.

The Advantage: Confidence and Clarity

With Page One as a partner, boutique firms gain access to enterprise-level tools and expertise without the overhead of an in-house team. From start to finish, we manage the process so your attorneys can focus on building arguments—not chasing data.

Because in today’s litigation landscape, having the right partner isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
