What iDiscovery Solutions does

iDiscovery Solutions (iDS) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Washington DC, with additional offices in Alpharetta (GA), Costa Mesa (CA), and London (UK). The firm provides consulting and expert services spanning digital forensics, eDiscovery and disclosure, structured data analytics, data privacy, cybersecurity, information governance, damages and forensic accounting, compliance, and investigations — anchored by expert witness testimony capabilities. Its core client base consists of Am Law 50/100 law firms and Fortune 300/500 corporate legal departments requiring both consultative and testifying experts on complex data-intensive matters.

The firm's service delivery is organized around its STEPS™ Framework, a codified methodology covering conflicts, privacy, security, budget, and execution. Underpinning the practice are several proprietary or trademarked assets: xIOT® technology for structured data discovery, Fact Crashing™ methodology for dispute resolution and fraud analysis, Consensus Coding® platform for document review, Fusion Analytics (FAX) for ML-powered investigations, and Quick Response Teams (QRTs) for rapid on-site incident response. The Special Investigations Unit, featuring QRTs and FAX, extends the firm into urgent incident response and government-facing investigation work.

iDiscovery Solutions operates on a sales-led, consultative model in which clients engage through direct outreach and initial expert conversations that scope custom engagements. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated from professional services billings on tailored matters rather than subscription or product licensing. The firm is independently owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, and uses a content-driven marketing approach (podcast, blog, public speakers bureau, published checklists and methodology books) to build top-of-funnel demand with enterprise legal buyers.
