A year after Deloitte entered into an alliance with e-discovery software provider Relativity, the two have now announced the creation of an end-to-end workflow platform geared towards managing and responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
Deloitte’s new disclosure solution was developed with the government agencies responding to FOIA requests in mind. But it’s also potentially good news for attorneys who don’t particularly enjoy standing around looking at their watch. Chris Knox, Deloitte’s risk and financial advisory managing director and leader in the Federal Discovery practice, said that savvy attorneys have begun to utilize the FOIA in the vein of a pre-litigation discovery request.
