MAKING YOUR DOCUMENT REVIEW AND eDISCOVERY CHALLENGES ACHIEVABLE
PROVIDING HIGHLY SECURE, COMPLEX DOCUMENT REVIEW CERTIFIED BY A LAW FIRM

02
TRUST A LAW FIRM TO PROVIDE HIGHLY SECURE, COMPLEX DOCUMENT REVIEWS – AT A RATE THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK.One of the first. Our firm was one of the first in the country to create a dedicated practice group focusing solely on complex document review. We save our clients money by focusing from the start on efficient processes, creative project management, and seamless integration with other team members. In other words, we make sure every dollar counts. Using a low-cost provider doesn’t ensure that your final bill is lower; in fact, we’ve found that many of our competitors offer low hourly rates only to end up spending twice the time using inefficient processes and unreliable staff.
High security you can trust. Leveraging highly secure, clean room technology to protect your confidential and sensitive information, we help our clients efficiently conduct complex document reviews in preparation for litigation, government investigations, due diligence assessments, and regulatory events. Since 2004, we have collaborated as a trusted partner with our clients, eDiscovery vendors and inside/outside counsel to achieve accurate, cost-effective results.
Quality people in, quality reviews out. Our review team includes in-house counsel, trial attorneys, engineers, law firm partners, patent attorneys, and state and federal government attorneys. Throughout the review process, we add value by thinking like lawyers engaged in the practice of law.
More coverage in more ways. With offices in Arizona, Colorado and Michigan, we cover all time zones, making sure we’re available when our clients need us. When necessary, we work weekends and holidays, at no extra cost. We’ve got you covered.

WHY RYLEY CARLOCK & APPLEWHITE’S DOCUMENT CONTROL GROUP IS THE GO-TO REVIEW AND
EDISCOVERY COUNSEL FOR OUR CLIENTS.
WHY DCG
CERTIFIED REVIEWWe certify our document review services and retain long-term legal talent as only a law firm can. Certified reviews provide peace of mind to our clients as well as the courts. Each review is backed by and insured under our pro-fessional liability carrier. The vast majority of document review providers can’t say the same. As a law firm, we attract experienced attorneys who stick with us for the long term. Our clients benefit from having a consistent team working on their projects.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATIONWe seamlessly integrate with our partners. Our team knows how to quickly deploy a well-co-ordinated process to make sure we’re complete-ly integrated with the client, the eDiscovery tech-nology platform and the law firm managing the litigation. This efficiency saves money and cre-ates unbeatable results.
HIGH SECURITYWe adhere to strict security protocols to en-sure client information is safe. Some of the world’s largest financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies rely on us and audit our sys-tems regularly. A number of our clients require “Clean Room” best practices including two-fac-tor authentication, security cameras, keycard access, enter/exit logs, cell phone prohibitions, client-approved and maintained email accounts, and much more. These policies all work together to protect client data.
SMART REVIEWWe offer a 1-pass Smart Review. Smart Review is a project management-based approach where our reviewers perform a single, substantive re-view of each document, rather than multiple layers of “eyes-on” review for each category of data. Our Smart Review process ensures that our review projects are delivered on time, within budget, and are of the highest possible quality—making Smart Review the most efficient, cost-ef-fective and defensible review process.

VIGILANT BUDGET MANAGEMENTWe track your project’s budget against your project’s timeline for completion in real time, so there are no surprises. This means we provide you with budget and project completion reports, as frequently as you require. If the scope of your project changes or we discover we are over budget, we inform you immediately so we can discuss and agree on any necessary adjustments. We take great pride in providing our clients with realistic project budgets before we begin a review, and then monitoring the budget closely throughout the project.
DETAILED & CUSTOMIZED REPORTINGAt the outset of a project, we work with our client to define the type of reporting needed. Because clients’ needs often shift, we’ve discovered that clients’ reporting requirements do too; we are accustomed to taking a flexible approach to reporting, responding readily to requests for different reports and/or one-off reports to track specific information.
UNRELENTING FOCUS ON QUALITY CONTROLQuality control is a key component of our process. We focus on doing the right kind of quality control for your specific project, customizing our approach to achieve the best and most efficient result possible—never sacrificing quality to process.
