Using eDiscovery in investigations

KordaMentha can offer in house corporate investigation teams the most powerful and secure discovery platform currently available.



At KordaMentha Forensic, we uncover, analyse and clarify facts at the centre of disputes, investigations and other sensitive matters. We have one of the largest teams of forensic technology experts, investigators, forensic accountants and data analytics specialists in Asia-Pacific.
 

As the first partner to bring Relativity’s cloud-based platform ‘RelativityOne’ to the Australian market, and Australia’s first RelativityOne Certified Partner, KordaMentha can offer in-house corporate investigation teams the most powerful and secure discovery platform currently available. Our multi-disciplinary team can also provide expertise and resources to ensure investigation teams fully leverage the capabilities of RelativityOne and drive investigations to tangible outcomes.
 
RelativityOne is integral to our approach to investigations.
 

1. Uncover the evidence

With the volume and diversity of electronic data being created skyrocketing, there has never been a more urgent need to leverage the very latest technology to efficiently process, analyse and review this data. RelativityOne provides everything you need to ingest, process and review documents related to an investigation, from the smallest to the most complex projects.
 

2. Analyse the evidence

A major challenge for investigation teams is to efficiently and effectively identify relevant documents amongst a large volume of irrelevant documents. RelativityOne allows investigation teams to visualise patterns in the data, explore the data in layers, and uncover trends to take action right away. Recent advances in analytics (particularly Technology Assisted Review) and continuing developments in new artificial intelligence-powered analytics (such as emotion and sentiment analysis) are also providing new tools to more efficiently find the needles in the proverbial haystack.
 

3. Clarify the facts and act on them

RelativityOne acts as a central repository for all the moving parts on an investigation and keeps your team informed and on the same page. As relevant information is surfaced, RelativityOne enables you to identify key players, plot the facts along a timeline, and connect what people said to the data they left behind. This helps you develop your investigation strategy from beginning to end and provides a framework for investigators and forensic accountants to drive an investigation to conclusion.

What is RelativityOne?

RelativityOne is Relativity's cloud-based eDiscovery platform which was launched in the United States in 2017 and is now available in Australia. Moving to a cloud-based solution not only means clients will be able to leverage the full functionality of Relativity, but they will also be confident that it is the most secure and up to date version of Relativity available.

Sentiment analysis

Charged with investigating an executive’s emails for instances of fraud, KordaMentha dug deeper with Relativity to analyse the sentiments expressed in the emails and instant messages, which identified cultural issues involving numerous employees.
