HOLO experts frequently serve as a neutral third-party forensic e-discovery provider to help parties in a dispute produce relevant data while preserving the confidentiality of sensitive and personal information. Both state and federal courts have appointed HOLO to serve as a court-appointed special master to assist courts and litigants with e-discovery matters.

A special master appointed by the court has the technical expertise to understand e-discovery issues and settle disputes efficiently, reducing costs. In some cases, a special master helps avoid disputes altogether through effective mediation.
