Wave Software and Commonwealth Legal Bring Greater Efficiency to Electronic Discovery in Canada

April 27, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
ORLANDO, Florida (April 27, 2007)—Orlando-based Wave Software, an innovator in the de-duplication, re-generation and filtering of native e-mail files, and Commonwealth Legal, Canada’s largest and most trusted litigation support company, are teaming up to offer increased efficiency and savings in the processing of litigation and regulatory documents.

Now that Commonwealth Legal is using Wave Software’s Trident application, Commonwealth Legal can accurately and quickly de-duplicate and filter e-mail files prior to loading into the lawyer review application. Filtering is accomplished by date range and key word.

“Reviewing e-mails can cost $4 per message or more. It is important that the legal review team doesn’t waste time and money reviewing irrelevant documents. By filtering e-mails prior to loading into the review software, Commonwealth Legal will now be more powerful, more accurate than ever,” said Martin Felsky, CEO at Commonwealth Legal.

Global 500 companies and top law firms are requesting Trident technology to assist in native document review and production. Trident allows users to import Outlook PST or Lotus Notes files as Unicode or non-Unicode and so it can handle processing of foreign language documents with ease. Trident and Commonwealth Legal have been expanding their partnerships globally to address firms that rely on vendor expertise versus an in-house solution.

“We’re so pleased to be extending our reach and offering this great processing power to Canadian law firms. Lawyers everywhere experience the same pressures. They have to process large volumes of documents quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. We know Trident does that better than any e-mail de-duplicator and filter on the market, and now Commonwealth Legal and its clients will too,” said Robert Childress, president of Wave Software.
