Epiq's managed review center combines world-leading technology, rigorous process and qualified legal reviewers to offer the most comprehensive managed review service available to the legal profession. The new state-of-the art facility resides on the floor above the company's New York eDiscovery headquarters, encompassing space for 14 teams housed in dedicated review rooms with an advanced security design.  

"Our new managed review headquarters was designed explicitly with the needs of our clients in mind, with quality control, security and the ability to conduct an efficient and defensible review at the forefront of our business design," said Laura Kibbe, Senior Vice President, Epiq Systems eDiscovery, who manages the review center. "Managed legal review is more than a technical process of marking and tagging electronic documents. Our services facilitate accurate and timely knowledge transfer between the review team and the legal team and assist in the strategic positioning of matters."

Added Kibbe, "The legal talent supporting the company's service offering is key to its unique approach.  Epiq's reviewers typically have five or more years legal experience in litigation – and many also possess specialized expertise in such areas as product liability, employment, antitrust and securities, environmental and energy, and in the pharmaceutical industry. By harnessing this talent, we are able to better support clients' cases by coupling the best possible technology with qualified reviewers."

Additional benefits of Epiq Systems' managed review center include customized pricing based on specific case requirements and the ability to provide consistent reports across cases, including daily reporting on a project's progress provided via a project dashboard.

Epiq Systems will hold a private open house at the new facility on September 30. The event will feature a panel discussion of e-discovery technology experts who will address strategic approaches to conducting defensible review.
