FAQs
What is electronic discovery?
Electronic discovery (also called eDiscovery) is the process of identifying, preserving, collecting, processing, reviewing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to litigation, regulatory inquiries, or internal investigations. Electronic discovery covers data from email, documents, databases, mobile devices, cloud platforms, and collaboration tools. As a leading electronic discovery company, Gemean provides electronic discovery consulting and managed document review services to law firms, corporations, and government agencies across matters of any size and complexity.
What are electronic discovery services and when do organizations need them?
Electronic discovery services, commonly referred to as eDiscovery services, encompass the identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI) in response to litigation, regulatory inquiries, or internal investigations. Organizations need managed eDiscovery service solutions whenever digital data becomes relevant to a legal matter, which in today’s environment means almost every significant dispute.

What is eDiscovery data analytics and how does Gemean use it?
eDiscovery data analytics refers to the application of advanced analytical techniques to large document sets to identify patterns, surface key evidence, and reduce the volume of data requiring human review. Gemean uses email threading, clustering, communications analysis, concept searching, and its proprietary PythAI platform to deliver early case insights and meaningful cost savings across enterprise ediscovery services engagements.
Can Gemean handle global eDiscovery matters across multiple jurisdictions?
Yes. Gemean has experience supporting global ediscovery services matters across more than 60 locations. We are familiar with cross-border data transfer restrictions, GDPR implications for international collections, and the varying legal requirements that govern ESI preservation and production in different jurisdictions, including government investigation and ediscovery solutions with FedRAMP-ready infrastructure.
What is legal hold and how does it fit into the ediscovery process?
Legal hold is the formal process by which an organization suspends its normal data deletion and retention routines to preserve information relevant to anticipated or active litigation, regulatory inquiry, or investigation. It is the first and most critical step in the ediscovery lifecycle. Failure to implement a timely and comprehensive legal hold can result in spoliation sanctions, adverse inference instructions, and significant monetary penalties. Understanding what legal hold means and acting on it early is one of the most consequential decisions in any legal matter.
Does Gemean support email legal hold specifically?
Yes. Email legal hold is one of the most common and critical components of any preservation program. Gemean helps organizations implement targeted custodian-level holds across email platforms including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and legacy systems, ensuring that relevant communications are preserved from the moment litigation is anticipated. This applies equally in legal hold cyber security contexts, where breach-related communications and system logs must be preserved alongside traditional email records.
