    Certified Everlaw Partner

    A leading ediscovery platform, managed by one of a select few certified Everlaw Partners.

    Everlaw is a cloud-based ediscovery platform that can process up to one million documents per hour and search an entire document set in seconds. CDM manages every stage of the Everlaw workflow, from data import and processing through review, production, and fact management.

    Everlaw’s AI tools turn months of work into days. Documents are categorized automatically, key facts are pulled into timelines, and case narratives are built directly from the evidence. CDM configures and manages these tools for your case, so it moves faster and costs less.


    From first document to final production, CDM manages it all.

    CDM handles the full lifecycle of civil discovery inside Everlaw, so attorneys can focus on case strategy instead of data management.

    CDM ingests and processes data from email archives, cloud storage, and other sources directly into Everlaw for immediate review. For mobile device data, CDM partners with specialized collection experts to ensure defensible, complete collection before import.

    CDM manages both incoming and outgoing productions, handling the technical formatting, processing, and delivery requirements that make productions defensible and efficient.

    CDM also advises on meet-and-confer agreements, helping attorneys negotiate the format and scope of discovery before production begins. These decisions can define how a case unfolds and are too important to be an afterthought.

    Everlaw’s fact management and narrative tools turn raw documents into a coherent case story. CDM trains attorneys on the right tools for their case, helping them get the most from Everlaw’s AI features to build timelines, organize key facts, and develop their theory of the case.
