The same holds true when sorting through the mountains of paperwork a company is required to produce for litigation or an investigation. Failure to know what tools are available and when to use them can expose a company to substantial sanctions even before the company gets its day in court. There’s more than one way to build a road, but you’d better be sure it gets to the destination you want.
