Leading Los Angeles Law Firm Utilizes Redact-It Desktop
From Informative Graphics For Secure Electronic Document Redaction
Kegel, Tobin & Truce Ensures Integrity of Privileged
Information with the Industry’s Best Electronic Privacy Control
Software
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—February 11, 2009— Informative
Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in viewing, annotation
and redaction technology, today announced that Los Angeles-based
Kegel, Tobin and Truce, a pioneering law firm and leader in
the field of workers’ compensation defense, has selected Redact-It®
Desktop by IGC to redact privileged and privacy information
from documents requested during discovery.
Founded in 1972, Kegel, Tobin and Truce has an established and unprecedented
record of success before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.
The company’s expertise extends to subrogation as well as highly controversial
cases involving complex medical issues such as toxic exposure and
infectious diseases. The firm places the highest premium on integrity
and maintaining its competitive edge to continue earning the trust
and protecting the interests of its clients. With the evolution of
litigation-related documents going from print to digital, the firm
is mastering the use of electronic tools such as Redact-It to strengthen
its position of excellence in the space.
The process of redaction evokes images of legal personnel gathered
around conference tables using black permanent markers to mark up
brittle documents, shuttling between photocopiers to prevent the inadvertent
release of privileged information. In fact, a recent survey of law
firms across the United States revealed that 74 percent of firms in
the survey still perform redaction manually while only 44 percent
now employ technology to protect privileged information. Redact-It
modernizes this practice for Electronically Stored Information (ESI)
by automating many of the manual aspects of redaction.
Kegel, Tobin and Truce, with California offices in Los Angeles, Long
Beach, Ventura, San Diego and the Inland Empire, handles hundreds
of cases per year and recently installed Redact-It Desktop to intelligently
remove sensitive content and privacy information like social security
numbers, names, phone numbers and confidential medical information
before making discovery documents available to opposing counsel and
the court. Redact-It dramatically reduces the time it takes to redact,
review and release documents for public records access, eDiscovery
and any other process involving sharing confidential or privacy information.
“Redact-It assists us in maintaining the integrity of our work, providing
intelligent oversight of the redaction process, which is a notoriously
manual and time consuming process performed by law firms globally,”
said Ted C. Hanf, a managing Principal at Kegel, Tobin and Truce.
“Redact-It increases redaction efficiency and ensures that sensitive
content in electronic documents leaving our firm remain blacked out
from view to avoid negative repercussions of unauthorized viewing.”
