Overview
Administrative Charges Program
Deploying advanced legal project management strategies, innovative technologies, and an experienced team of dedicated attorneys, EEO Advantage enables employers to manage efficiently and cost-effectively the growing number of administrative charges filed with federal, state, and local agencies nationwide.
The EEO Advantage Team is comprised of attorneys who have years of particular experience in responding to and resolving administrative agency charges on behalf of employers, and who devote their practices primarily to defending employers against administrative agency charges.
EEO Advantage attorneys are skilled in conducting fact investigations in conjunction with clientsā human resources and in-house legal teams, assessing and developing risk strategies, ensuring preservation of all legal positions and defenses, preparing persuasive and effective position statements, limiting and managing agency requests for information, successfully advocating for clients in mediation and conciliation, and ensuring consistency with clientsā overall strategic and business goals at every step of the process.
IntelliCase, Ogletree Deakinsā proprietary charge-tracking software application, enables clients to track and analyze charge data on matters handled by the EEO Advantage team, giving clients access to detailed real-time data and analytics on their charges in an easy-to-use, web-based platform.
EEO Advantage harnesses and leverages the firmās client-focused technology platforms, advanced legal project management experience, and dedicated lawyersā comprehensive understanding of agency procedures, processes, and strategies to assist clients in managing their companiesā administrative charges proactively, efficiently, and with budget certainty.
A leader in developing innovative alternative fee arrangements, Ogletree Deakins offers a cost-effective approach to managing administrative charges though predictable fixed-fee pricing per position statement for individual administrative charges, and post-position statement activities billed at competitive hourly rates.
Costs associated with ediscovery continue to rise and are now among the most expensive components of employment litigation. At Ogletree Deakins, we contain and reduce ediscovery costs, allowing cases to be defined by their merits rather than by the burden of ediscovery expenses.
Our case managers have extensive experience in the efficient management of electronic data through every stage of the ediscovery life cycle, and they strategize with attorneys and clients on effective electronically stored information (ESI) protocols. Working with our ediscovery managed services provider, we are able to provide state-of-the-art data processing and hosting services at below-market rates.
Advanced analytics tools such as email threading, predictive coding, and concept clustering can significantly reduce discovery costs. Our case managers make sophisticated use of these features to realize efficiencies, and these tools are available at no additional per-gigabyte charge.
Employers can no longer afford to ignore ediscovery, even in āsmallā cases. Our special pricing model developed for small-volume cases dramatically reduces the cost of ediscovery data services, while still providing the full suite of processing, review, and analytics tools.
