Discovery Built for Legal
Social media discovery structured for legal environments
Social media and online activity frequently contain information relevant to litigation, investigations, and claims decisions. However, identifying that information in a defensible manner requires more than automated tools or evidence capture platforms.
SMI Aware conducts disciplined social media discovery designed specifically for litigation. Our work combines professional analyst review, structured methodology, and clear documentation so that findings can withstand scrutiny from opposing counsel, regulators, or the court.
Since 2011, SMI Aware has supported law firms, corporations, and insurers with discovery that aligns with the realities of adversarial legal environments.
Analyst Review
Discovery at SMI Aware is conducted by full-time, US-based analysts who personally review each matter.
Automated tools may collect large volumes of data, but meaningful discovery requires judgment, context, and restraint. Our analysts evaluate findings carefully, confirming attribution, relevance, and context before inclusion in a report.
This approach reduces the risk of misinterpretation and ensures that discovery reflects the realities of the matter rather than automated outputs.
Structured Discovery Methodology
Every matter follows a consistent discovery methodology designed to support litigation workflows.
Search parameters are aligned with the needs of the case and applied using a repeatable process. This disciplined approach ensures that discovery remains targeted, proportionate, and consistent across matters.
Our methodology allows legal teams to conduct discovery for individual cases or large coordinated matters while maintaining the same level of rigor.
Evidentiary Documentation
Discovery findings are documented in a format designed for legal review.
Relevant content is preserved and documented with clear sourcing and supporting information so that legal teams can evaluate the material confidently. Reports are structured for attorney review and may support investigation, case assessment, or litigation strategy.
The goal is not simply to collect information, but to document findings in a manner appropriate for adversarial environments.
