Enabling your case with technology-integrated services

The discovery landscape in Ireland has transformed significantly over the past 20 years due to the proliferation of electronically stored information.

By 2025, the amount of data generated and used around the world is expected to reach 181 zettabytes, which is almost triple the volume recorded as recently as 2020. This digital explosion, along with evolving communication technologies, has led to a continuous increase in data volumes subject to the eDiscovery process.

The legal sector in particular faces the challenge of efficiently identifying relevant material within ever-growing document collections to meet discovery obligations cost-effectively and proportionately.

At Grant Thornton, our eDiscovery service leverages the collective expertise of our IT Information Retrieval team, comprising of skill sets from digital forensics, eDiscovery, and data analytics specialists.
