Prestigious scanning job for Merrill Singapore

The Merrill Legal Solutions team in Singapore has carried out its largest scanning job to date for the Singapore office of top US law firm, Shearman & Sterling. The team were assisted by the London and Chennai offices of Merrill and delivered the project within the client’s tight timeframe.
Merrill’s scanning expertise is part of its suite of litigation support services and involves electronically converting documents from paper to an electronic format using specialist scanning equipment. We then provide the images to the client either on CD-ROM or via the internet. Each page can be coded with various parameters which will enable the document to be retrieved by the client using a specially created search facility. This will enable the client to quickly locate and review documents and this is especially important with discovery documents in large litigation cases as it avoids having to trawl through pages and pages of paper to find what you need. Charlotte Pache, Managing Director, Asia, said: “The size and timescale of this project were challenging and I am very pleased with the commitment and team work displayed in achieving the client’s goal. Merrill is a leader in the field of electronic document services and the client was suitably impressed with the service we were able to provide.” For further information on our scanning services, please contact Donald MacDonald by e-mail to donald.macdonald@merrillcorp.com.
