For the first time ever, FTI's Advice from Counsel study asked in-house discovery teams at some of the world's largest corporations to share their advicenfor making e-discovery more efficient and cost-effective.

The paper discusses an emerging alternative to the traditional discovery process, enabled by the use of analytics. In this model, the company first collects a small amount of data from likely custodians, quickly finds key documents, and uses its findings to determine the collection scope. Recuing the dataset at the outset, along with further use on analytics tools, produces relevant information faster and less expensively.

In addition, the paper outlines the study's other key findings, including:

• Reasons review and production are so expensive
• Tips for improving the process
• Three key tactics for reducing review costs
