Every project must include this document. If the vendor follows the technical standards included in this manual, their product should be available to the legal team very quickly. This will also result in a quicker turnaround for paying invoices.
Vendors will do their best to meet the client requirements. It is unfair and difficult to impose these requirements after a project is completed or in process. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Firm and Litigation Support to present the standards with any request for quote ("RFQs"). The paralegal can include this file for buying any litigation goods and services such as scanning, electronic discovery or video.
