eDiscovery Solutions

As a result of technological advances, most companies today conduct business on a daily basis via email or the internet.  As a result, companies involved in litigation are routinely required to serve and/or respond to electronic discovery (“eDiscovery”) requests.  As eDiscovery has become a common phase of most lawsuits, the complexities and potential financial burdens associated with eDiscovery have also become common place for any company involved in litigation.  In fact, it has been suggested that future costs to companies could be in the range of billions of dollars.<sup>1</sup> Moreover, the risks associated with not properly managing and/or responding to eDiscovery are significant as companies may be held accountable for delays and missteps made along the way. 

Without an effective eDiscovery strategy in place, companies may find themselves saddled with exorbitant fees and increased liability. Accordingly, Executive Liability has developed the eDiscovery Solution to help its insureds protect themselves from such risks.

Features and Benefits Back To Top
  • In the event of a covered claim, insureds have access to a panel of pre-approved, independent eDiscovery consultants recognized as experts in the industry at pre-negotiated, favorable rates
  • The eConsultant works for the insured and collaborates with defense counsel to develop and manage a cost-effective, defensible eDiscovery strategy
  • eDiscovery costs are mitigated throughout the process by:
    - Controlling expenses within the self-insured retention.
    - Minimizing exposure to liability from mis-management of the process.
    - Preserving policy limits.
    - Mitigation of overall defense costs
  • An optional endorsement on the 2/2000 policy is available at no additional premium, affording these insureds access to the same list of consultants combined with a sublimit of $25,000 that is not subject to a self-insured retention
  • When the D&O sublimit is exhausted, insureds can choose to continue benefiting from the consultants’ services at pre-negotiated, favorable rates
