Privilege-review packet organization with offshore support
Group source documents, metadata, and reviewer questions without making privilege, responsiveness, or production decisions.
Defined workflowAttorney review gatesPractical escalation
Preserve the review inputs
Keep the custodian, source path, document identifier, date, participants, attachments, and collection batch connected. Do not strip metadata or replace an original with a working copy.
Make questions precise
Flag missing attachments, unclear authors, duplicate identifiers, and broken files with a link to the exact item. Avoid labels that imply a legal conclusion when the reviewer has not decided it.
Let counsel control disposition
The attorney decides privilege, responsiveness, redaction, production, and any escalation. Support staff can maintain the packet, record the instruction, and preserve the before-and-after versions.
