Ankura eDiscovery Team
Ankura is a team of excellence founded on innovation and growth. Our eDiscovery team sits within the Risk Advisory business group which is one of five strategic businesses focused on client delivery services at Ankura.
Practice Overview
The eDiscovery practice is commonly engaged to assist financial investigations, litigations and disputes, turnaround and process improvement engagements, and other critical business issues. The eDiscovery team specialises in designing and implementing processes that help clients reduce their data and review volumes. Our professionals provide workflow design and strategy for keyword search, workflow assignment setup, content analytics, conceptual search/clustering, and predictive coding, and work with clients to efficiently extract and effectively analyse client data.
We help businesses, government entities and law firms to address their most complex and pressing concerns and make well-informed decisions, using some of the most advanced technology, tools and techniques. The team’s consulting experience involves large, diverse, and often incomplete data sets across client enterprises including email, servers, cloud storage, social media, mobile devices, instant messaging and collaboration tools. The team collaborates with cybersecurity, computer forensics, data analytics and investigatory experts to assess and respond to both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of problems.
Your role will involve working collaboratively with and learning from our diverse and knowledgeable team that has a wealth of experience in delivering excellent service to our clients.
We make use of leading technologies from within our industry and have developed much of our own AI based data manipulation, visualisation and decision making technology using our own in-house development team.
Role Overview
As Senior Associate, you will be working closely with the project team to become familiar with the clients' big-picture objectives and challenges. You will execute critical project deliverables to ensure these objectives are met on time and with the highest quality. You will be responsible for designing and executing efficient and innovative workflow solutions to address our client’s issues.
