E-Discovery, Simplified: Virtual Paralegal Support for Florida Litigators

Discovery deadlines. Endless document review. Privilege logs that take hours. For many Florida litigators, managing e-discovery is one of the most time-consuming and stressful aspects of civil litigation. But it doesn’t have to be.

At Cornerstone Paralegal Group, we help Florida attorneys simplify their litigation process with reliable, experienced virtual paralegal support—especially when it comes to e-discovery. Whether you're a solo attorney juggling court appearances or a growing firm managing multiple matters, we’re here to keep you on track, organized, and court-compliant.

1. What Is E-Discovery—and Why Does It Eat Up Your Week?

E-discovery involves more than just requesting or producing documents. It’s the structured and rule-bound process of collecting, reviewing, organizing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation. That includes emails, PDFs, scanned files, texts, and digital files pulled from clients, third parties, and opposing counsel.

For Florida attorneys, failure to manage discovery properly can result in court sanctions, missed deadlines, and unhappy clients. And yet, many firms still try to do it all in-house, losing precious hours of attorney time to manual work that experienced paralegals can handle efficiently.

2. What Paralegals Can (and Should) Do During E-Discovery

Paralegals are instrumental in streamlining the discovery process. At Cornerstone, we assist with:

  • Drafting interrogatories, requests for production (RFPs), and requests for admissions

  • Reviewing and summarizing discovery responses

  • Communicating with clients to request and organize responsive documents

  • Indexing and categorizing large volumes of discovery

  • Creating and managing privilege logs

  • Formatting production sets, including Bates numbering

  • Preparing response packets and coordinating production

  • Tracking response deadlines and objections

Our team is trained in Florida procedural rules and works with attorneys to ensure full compliance with state and local requirements.

3. How Cornerstone Makes It Seamless

We’re not just document pushers—we’re workflow optimizers. Here’s how we make e-discovery support frictionless:

  • Fast Turnaround: Most discovery drafting and production prep is returned within 24–48 hours.

  • Secure File Handling: We use secure cloud platforms to receive, manage, and return sensitive discovery documents.

  • Experience You Can Trust: All our paralegals are Florida-based and trained in Florida law. No outsourcing. No shortcuts.

  • Workflow Alignment: We work with your systems—whether that’s Clio, MyCase, SharePoint, or email-based delivery.

  • Flexible Plans: Use your plan hours for discovery, document prep, or other litigation support as needed.

4. What This Looks Like in Practice

When attorneys partner with us for discovery support, we tailor our approach based on the volume and complexity of the matter. Whether it’s managing a few dozen documents for a family law case or organizing exhibits and drafting responses for a business dispute, our focus remains the same: making your job easier.

5. What to Expect When You Work With Us

Working with Cornerstone means having a reliable discovery team on standby. Here’s what that looks like:

  1. You send us discovery requests or responses with background/context.

  2. We draft, review, and return them formatted and court-ready.

  3. If production is involved, we organize and prepare the documents according to your preferences.

  4. We alert you to upcoming deadlines and potential deficiencies.

  5. All deliverables are returned quickly, securely, and customized to your workflow.
