“Lex” in Latin means law.UnitedLex represents the uniting of multiple legal

jurisdictions around the world in or-der to leverage global talent and data centers. The sole purpose of these coa-lesced jurisdictions is to help leading corporations, law firms and academic institutions solve complex legal and data challenges while reducing their costs. The president of UnitedLex, Dave Deppe, explains, “Many corpora-tions and law firms are not equipped to manage, analyze and protect their data. They turn to us to help them reduce the cost of data management and analysis, specifically in the areas of intellectual property, contract management, litiga-tion, regulatory and cyber breach ser-vices.”

UnitedLex’s Questio, which is Lat-in for “seeking the truth”, is a technol-ogy driven process that helps signifi-

cantly reduce the cost of any individual matter, while mitigating legal risk and maximizing early intelligence which can lead to quick settlements. Deppe delineates “the majority of the cost savings is achieved by identifying and excluding documents that are falsely hitting on keyword search terms. Our clients save around two dollars and twenty five cents each document that is excluded using the Questio service.”

UnitedLex developed its Questio service to address the explosive growth of data that drives the volume of docu-ments that must be considered for liti-gation and regulatory requirements. Sheppard Mullin LLP, an AmLaw 100 firm, had collected terabytes of data which would cost a couple of millions for its client, apart from taking weeks only to identify relevant documents in document review during the discovery phase of litigation. By leveraging the Questio service, UnitedLex was able to eliminate 90 percent of unwanted data, “We saved the client around $2.2 Mil-lion in discovery costs, and the case settled soon thereafter,” adds Deppe.

UnitedLex also understands that a company needs to abide by the con-tractual obligations of their customers in a timely manner to maintain a solid, loyal customer base. Based on this need, UnitedLex developed Lexbase to ensure that companies fulfill their obligations thus providing greater cus-tomer service. It notifies employees when an obligation for an employee to respond is due. If an employee does not respond in a timely fashion, the obliga-tion is then escalated to ensure that it is fulfilled. Thus, Lexbase ensures that firms are providing the highest quality service to their customers.

Deppe builds on the philosophy of ‘placing others before self and taking care of your apprentices.’ He believes that this philosophy helps, not only in having good relationships with em-ployees, but also in maintaining long term relationships in the corporate world.

From helping clients through the entire litigation lifecycle to injecting legal intelligence into cyber risk solu-tions, UnitedLex focuses on empower-ing their clients through people, pro-cess and technology in order to meet their business objectives. Elaborating on the company’s vision ahead, Deppe says, “We have made heavy invest-ments in cyber security risk solutions to protect our clients from cyber that threaten them. We are highly focused on use of Technology Assisted Review and analytically based processes to provide accurate and defensible results at the lowest possible cost. We will continue to expand our global footprint in additional markets across our entire solution set.”

Refining the Way eDiscovery is Practiced

UnitedLex has bridged the gap between legal and cyber to help clients speed cyber breach resolution and minimize their total cost and liabilities of a cyber breach incident

Dave Deppe

Over the years, law firms are transcending horizons where the litigation proceedings are being drawn across the corners of the globe.

Globalization has ushered in inexorable technological best practices and cost-effectiveness across the entire litigation spectrum.

In the aftermath of increased security, the digital age is witnessing an array of cloud-based legal services and solutions, and automated processes that ease critical woes on security, cyber espionage, discovery, trial, intellectual asset management, risk and email management and compliance to regulations and guidelines.

Reshaping the litigation landscape are the technologies that transform the legal professional’s workflow into smartly organized digital information. It also enables collaboration and sharing of information

among lawyers teamed for a particular case anywhere across the globe.

However, in lieu of the prudent customer, the need to rein in costs is bringing forth affordable and effective legal delivery models. There is an ongoing fundamental shift in the client’s expectations, be it on pricing or service levels, and addressing these require innovative technologies and approaches.
