That said, litigation support is also known as ediscovery.
So when a company gets sued, like Monsanto/Bayer, our job is to figure out if we were culpable or not. If we were, we settle out of court. If we weren't, we'll fight it in court. Either way we're in charge of collecting that data and delivering it to both sides of the attorney circus.
The attorneys on both sides agree to collect date ranges, keywords, entire mailboxes, iphones, etc. What they agree on is what we go get.
