Nextpoint’s Discovery Cloud with Privilege Protect™ is the only review platform that protects your attorney-client communications from accidental disclosure. Privileged communication is the heart of the attorney-client relationship, and Privilege Protect is the first definitive and defensible technology to safeguard your privilege in eDiscovery production.
What is Privilege Protect?
Nextpoint’s Privilege Protect safeguards against the inadvertent waiver of attorney-client privilege by using patent-pending, computer-assisted technologies to detect potentially privileged documents before they are produced. Secure transfer of productions into a separate and secure clone database adds an additional and unprecedented layer of protection for privileged or un-redacted data.
Protect Attorney-Client Privilege
Courts have consistently ruled that once privileged information is inadvertently released, your protection is lost. The only way to protect your right is to take aggressive and active measures to defend privilege. Nextpoint customers now have multiple layers of advanced technology to block privileged or un-redacted information from production:
PRIVILEGE PROTECT INCLUDES:
- Privilege Detection compares documents customers have selected to transfer with those that have been previously identified as privileged and/or have been redacted. A report is generated highlighting potential leaks, allowing customers to double check suspicious documents before they are mistakenly transferred to a third party.
- Loadfile Review reassures users that data will be transferred exactly as anticipated. Nextpoint clients can review any data set prior to production, searching for key phrases, email addresses or other red flags that signal protected documents or metadata are present.
- Smart Override gives users the option to transfer only images of a document so that a native file attachment (which could include protected information) is not sent to opposing parties.
- Secure Transfer via Nextpoint Wire delivers data directly to opposing counsel, judges, or other parties in a separate and secure clone database. Data never leaves our cloud platform, so it cannot be intercepted or lost in transit.
Nextpoint’s Privilege Protect is the first software solution that proves your legal team has made more than a reasonable effort to prevent privileged data from being produced (see: Mt. Hawley Ins. Co. v. Felman Production, Inc., 2010 ). And we’ll testify to that fact if needed. That’s the Nextpoint guarantee.
