Takeaway: As barrister groups prepare for litigation they need a tool to help manage the digital evidence efficiently. GoldFynch is a comprehensive and user-friendly solution, ideal for barristers to help while getting ready for their trials

Trial preparation for Barristers is crucial, and an easy-to-use eDiscovery software can help ease the burden of sorting through the vast volumes of data

The digital age has revolutionized the legal profession, particularly in how barristers and legal teams handle evidence and documentation. eDiscovery, the process of identifying and collecting electronic data, culling data, reviewing files, production of data, etc. has become a crucial part of modern legal work. GoldFynch’s eDiscovery software offers barrister groups a simple and effective solution for managing digital evidence. Here’s a guide on how barristers can make the most of GoldFynch.

Hassle-free file uploads that just require a web browser

GoldFynch allows barristers to easily upload case documents through its drag-and-drop feature directly in the browser window. This removes the need for extra software or custom uploads. Legal teams can upload any file type, including compressed files, PST /OST files, MBOX files, and productions, making it ideal for cases involving diverse document formats. The software automatically processes uploaded documents, ensuring that the barrister’s team can focus on more strategic work rather than administrative tasks.

Next, GoldFynch automatically processes all the uploaded files

One of GoldFynch’s standout features is its automated optical character recognition (OCR) which is free of cost. The tool processes scanned documents, including images and PDFs, and converts them into searchable text. Barristers can easily search for specific terms and phrases in scanned files, enabling them to find the right evidence quickly. Automated OCR runs without manual input, saving time and allowing legal teams to focus on preparing their cases.

Searching for relevant and responsive data is easy with the enhanced capabilities of GoldFynch’s search engine

GoldFynch’s search functionality helps barristers zero in on relevant case information quickly. The platform’s advanced relevance engine enables barristers to sort through documents, emails, and images efficiently. The search function has in-built features such as slop searches, word stemming, and stop word removal to improve the quality of your searches. Complex Boolean searches (using AND, OR, and NOT operators) are supported, helping legal teams refine their queries and get accurate results. This is especially useful for barristers working on large cases with vast volumes of digital data, as it ensures that no crucial detail is missed.

Creating searches has been made very simple with the interactive query builder. Just drag and drop search operators and click to add the required search parameters. The application also has additional filters by which you can refine your search without altering your base query. The search function lets you collaborate with other team members as all searches can be saved and accessed across the team.

Streamlined document review is ensured with powerful tools and collaborative features

With GoldFynch’s browser-based viewer, barristers can securely review their case files without downloading anything, minimizing productivity loss and security risks. This cloud-based feature ensures that the most recent version of each document is always available for review, no matter where the team is located. It also facilitates collaboration by enabling team members to share comments and insights on the same platform.

At times you may need additional hands to aid with the document review process, this can be set up smoothly using the review set function. You need to create a bundle of the documents that need to be reviewed. Once that is done it can be reviewed by all team members simultaneously. Additionally, the software lets you easily keep track of the progress of the reviews.

The system’s Deduplication function lets you cull data thus freeing up space. With this, you can ensure that you don’t exceed your case volume unless required.

Files need to be bundled and produced before the trial and GoldFynch has a simple workflow for producing documents

Barrister groups often need to produce documents in different formats, such as PDF, TIFF, or JPEG. GoldFynch’s production workflow makes this task straightforward, allowing barristers to choose the format that best suits their needs. Load files can also be created when necessary, ensuring seamless transitions between different data systems. Generating productions are completely free and the software’s production workflow is flexible enough to support frequent productions, making it easy for legal teams to comply with various production requests. Also, productions do not contribute to case volume. So you can create multiple productions without increasing the size of your case. It also lets you share the production easily with opposing counsel

Barrister groups don’t work in silo, they need to collaborate with others and this has never been easier

GoldFynch recognizes the importance of collaboration in the legal profession. Barristers can share entire cases and “preview” versions of productions securely with colleagues, external experts, and clients, at no cost. This facilitates a smoother exchange of information and insights while ensuring data security. Teams can efficiently work together on the same case, even if they’re located in different geographical areas.

All these features are included in our transparent pricing model at no hidden cost

GoldFynch’s pricing model is designed to be predictable and transparent, a crucial factor for barrister groups managing tight budgets. The software includes automatic OCR, unlimited sharing, and other advanced features within its all-inclusive pricing. Prorated billing ensures that teams only pay for the duration that their case is active, and only for the volume of the case plans they use during that time, with plan upgrades being handled automatically, only when plan volumes are exceeded. This means barristers never have to worry about unexpected charges or hidden fees.

With its simplified file uploads, automated OCR, advanced search capabilities, and intuitive collaboration tools, GoldFynch is well-suited for handling the unique challenges of barrister groups. By utilizing this software, barristers can manage their digital evidence efficiently, ensuring they are prepared for whatever the case demands.

Want to make the most of GoldFynch for your barrister group?

It’s an easy-to-use eDiscovery service that’s perfect for small groups .

  • It costs just $27 a month for a 3GB case: That’s significantly less than most comparable software. With GoldFynch, you know what you’re paying for exactly – its pricing is simple and readily available on the website.

  • It’s easy to budget for. GoldFynch charges only for storage (processing is free). So, choose from a range of plans (3 GB to 150+ GB) and know upfront how much you’ll be paying. It takes just a few clicks to move from one plan to another, and billing is prorated – so you’ll pay only for the time you spend on any given plan. With legacy software, pricing is much less predictable.

  • It’s simple to use. Many eDiscovery applications take hours to master. GoldFynch takes minutes. It handles a lot of complex processing in the background, but what you see is minimal and intuitive. Just drag-and-drop your files into GoldFynch and you’re good to go. Plus, it’s designed, developed, and run by the same team. So you get prompt and reliable tech support.

  • It keeps you flexible. To build a defensible case, you need to be able to add and delete files freely. Many applications charge to process each file you upload, so you’ll be reluctant to let your case organically shrink and grow. And this stifles you. With GoldFynch, you get unlimited processing for free. So, on a 3 GB plan, you could add and delete 5 GB of data at no extra cost – as long as there’s only 3GB in your case at any point. And if you do cross 3GB, your plan upgrades automatically and you’ll be charged for only the time spent on each plan. That’s the beauty of prorated pricing.

  • Access it from anywhere. And 24/7. All your files are backed up and secure in the Cloud.
