What Is Legal Document Scanning and Coding?

Legal document scanning and coding converts paper records into searchable electronic documents and records the details a legal team needs to find, review and produce them. CKC Consulting provides physical document scanning, electronic file processing, metadata extraction, privilege review support and production formatting.

We use optical character recognition (OCR) technology and professional coding standards so documents are processed accurately and efficiently. Scanned documents can then be hosted for review alongside the rest of your electronic data.

When Legal Teams Need Document Scanning

Paper still turns up in discovery and investigations. Scanning and coding help when:

  • Paper in Discovery

    Physical documents need to be reviewed alongside electronic data.

  • Second Requests

    A government demand for documents means records must be identified and produced.

  • Privilege Review

    Documents must be checked for privilege before they are produced.

  • Production Formatting

    Documents must be produced in a specific format.

  • Consultation and Proposal

  • Scanning and OCR

  • Coding and Metadata

  • Review and Production

  2. Scanning and OCR. Physical documents are scanned and processed with OCR so the text can be searched.

  3. Coding and Metadata. Professional coding standards are applied and metadata is extracted from electronic files.

  4. Review and Production. Privilege review support and production formatting to your requirements.
