01. What is e-Discovery?
e-Discovery (electronic discovery) refers to the process of identifying, preserving, collecting, processing, reviewing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to legal or regulatory requirements. This can include emails, documents, databases, instant messages, and other digital files.
02. How can TASCON LEGAL & E-DISCOVERY help me with my e-Discovery project?
At Tascon Legal & e-Discovery, we coordinate and support e-Discovery projects for small to medium-sized businesses, managing everything from data collection to review and delivery. We provide training and talent solutions tailored to your needs to ensure a smooth process.
For larger or more complex cases, we collaborate with trusted global e-Discovery service providers and, where necessary, with experienced law firms to deliver scalable, secure, and jurisdiction-aware solutions. We act as your single point of contact, managing all coordination and communication.
Our goal is to provide efficient, compliant, and practical e-Discovery support tailored to your business size and needs.
03. How does TASCON LEGAL & E-DISCOVERY assist with cross-border eDiscovery?
We specialize in cross-border e-Discovery, ensuring compliance with legal regulations in multiple jurisdictions. We ensure your data management processes are compliant with international laws, including data protection and privacy regulations.
06. What is GDPR and how can TASCON LEGAL & E-DISCOVERY assist with compliance?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and is a set of rules established by the EU to protect personal data. TASCON LEGAL & E-DISCOVERY helps businesses ensure compliance with GDPR by providing advice and strategies on data protection, handling sensitive information, and mitigating risks associated with personal data processing. Following Brexit, the UK implemented its own version of the General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), which mirrors the EU GDPR with certain domestic adjustments. It governs how personal data is processed within the UK and applies to organisations offering goods or services to UK residents or monitoring their behaviour.
06. What types of translations do you offer?
At Tascon Legal & e-Discovery, we provide a full range of translation solutions tailored to your business needs:
Standard Translations: Accurate and professional translations for everyday business documents.
Certified Translations: Through our trusted partners in Spain, we offer certified translations recognized by official bodies.
Sworn Translations: For documents required in legal proceedings in the UK, we arrange sworn translations by authorized Spanish translators. Once the translation is complete, we can provide a solicitor’s signature to ensure it meets all legal standards.
We partner with reputable Spanish translation services to guarantee quality and compliance, ensuring your documents are accepted by courts, government agencies, and other official institutions.
07. Do you provide litigation services?
We do not provide litigation services directly, but we can refer you to trusted law firms or businesses that specialize in litigation.
08. What does Legal Privilege Review mean?
A Legal Privilege Review is a process that ensures confidential communications between legal counsel and clients are protected during eDiscovery. We help identify and safeguard privileged documents to maintain confidentiality and comply with legal standards.
10. Is it worth using e-Discovery for small to medium-sized matters?
Yes, in many cases it is. Even in smaller matters, the volume of digital data can be significant. Using e-Discovery tools can save time, reduce human error, and improve efficiency. We coordinate with trusted service providers to tailor solutions that are proportionate and cost-effective for small to medium-sized cases.
12. Is it safe to use generative AI in e-Discovery?
Generative AI can be a powerful tool when used with caution. While it can assist in drafting, summarizing, and organizing documents, it should not replace human legal review—especially in sensitive matters. We stay informed on best practices and work with trusted providers to ensure any use of generative AI complies with legal standards, confidentiality obligations, and data protection laws.
13. When should I use Machine Learning vs. other AI tools in e-Discovery?
When to Use Machine Learning (e.g., TAR / Predictive Coding):
Scenario 1: Large Document Volumes
You’re dealing with tens or hundreds of thousands of documents in a cross-border dispute. Manual review is too slow and costly.
Use ML to train the system on what’s relevant, then prioritize or exclude documents accordingly.
Scenario 2: Time-Sensitive Investigations
You have a tight deadline to produce key documents in regulatory or internal investigations.
ML can surface the most relevant material faster, allowing reviewers to focus on what matters.
When to Use Other AI Tools (e.g., Clustering, Email Threading, Named Entity Recognition):
Scenario 3: Early Case Assessment (ECA)
You need to quickly understand what kinds of data are in a large dataset before deciding how to proceed.
AI-powered data clustering and concept search help you spot themes or anomalies quickly.
Scenario 4: Multilingual Data Sets
Your dataset includes documents in Spanish, English, and other languages.
AI-based language detection and automated translation tools can accelerate review and help you plan multilingual review strategies.
Scenario 5: Small to Medium Cases
You’re managing a matter with under 10,000 documents.
AI tools like email threading and deduplication reduce reviewer burden, even without full ML-based predictive coding.
In summary:
Machine Learning is best when training the system adds real value — usually in large, complex, or high-stakes matters.
Other AI tools enhance speed and organization across cases of any size, including smaller commercial or compliance-related matters.
14. What is a Boolean search and how can it help me identify key documents?
A Boolean search is a powerful method that uses logical operators like AND, OR, and NOT to combine keywords and phrases in your search queries. This allows you to create precise and targeted searches within large document collections.
15. What training do you offer?
We offer document review training tailored to your project and platform, including best practices for eDiscovery. We can also provide legal review training, GDPR compliance sessions, and other customized e-Discovery training solutions based on your business or legal needs.
16. Do you provide Spanish business law support?
Yes, we offer general support with Spanish business law matters, including contract review and regulatory guidance. For complex or specialized legal issues, we can refer you to trusted local law firms.
17. What is your talent search solution?
We are not a recruitment agency, but we can act as your talent search partner by helping you identify suitable professionals for your eDiscovery or legal support needs. We liaise with Employers of Record (EOR) services to support international hiring and compliance. For larger document review teams or volume recruitment, we can refer you to trusted recruitment companies with the right expertise.
18. Do you only assist businesses in the UK and Spain?
While our services are primarily designed for UK and Spanish businesses, we can support international clients as long as coordination takes place during UK business hours.
19. What can I expect from the free consultation?
During the free consultation, we’ll discuss your specific needs, clarify the details of your case, and explore how we can best support you.
