Unlike in
litigation, where some concerns and complications persist, technology - assisted review can be used freely
during internal investigations to significantly speed up
needed review
processes, and many federal agencies are now comfortable with investigation subjects using it as well (although methodology details generally have to be provided to the agency to secure approval)
If
litigation is commenced
during the collaborative
process by one of the participants, all attorneys and experts are relieved of representation and the parties
need to retain new counsel for the
litigation process.
