An Am Law firm engaged Sandline to support a complex, multijurisdictional matter involving data collection, hosting, and review across both the United Kingdom and the United States. The engagement required precise coordination, strict compliance with regional data-handling requirements, and seamless alignment between teams operating in different jurisdictions.
- Data needed to be collected and hosted in the UK to comply with regional requirements.
- Additional data had to be collected, processed, and hosted in the United States.
- Before any cross-border consolidation, counsel was required to complete a GDPR review to determine what could lawfully be transferred.
- The matter involved tight deadlines, evolving priorities, and significant data volumes.
Sandline coordinated closely with UK and US counsel to:
- Perform defensible collections in both the UK and the US.
- Maintain separate UK and US hosting environments to uphold privacy and jurisdictional requirements.
- Support counsel’s GDPR review before combining approved UK data with the US dataset.
- Execute additional review in the combined environment using advanced analytics, threading, near-duplicates, and targeted search workflows.
- Implement a streamlined review workflow aligned with counsel’s strategy and deadlines.
- All collections were completed defensibly and in compliance with regional data handling obligations.
- GDPR review was completed efficiently, allowing approved UK data to be combined with US datasets without delay.
- Sandline’s use of analytics accelerated issue identification and reduced review time.
- The team met all production deadlines, providing consistent, reliable support throughout a dynamic, cross-border matter.
Sandline delivered the coordination, precision, and consistency of this multijurisdictional matter required—across borders, platforms, and deadlines.
