Case Study: CMS Derks Star Busmann achieves rapid, defensible privileged reviews to meet NMa 10‑day deadline with Veritas Technologies eDiscovery Platform

European Law Firm Standardizes on the Veritas™ eDiscovery Platform to Accelerate and Streamline Competition Law Cases

CMS Derks Star Busmann is a leading Dutch law firm specializing in competition law that frequently represents clients subject to unannounced “dawn raids” by regulators like the NMa. Faced with complex datasets of tens of thousands of documents and only 10 working days to identify materials covered by legal professional privilege, the firm risked high reviewer costs and missed deadlines using manual review methods.

Working with Fox-IT, the firm standardized on the Veritas eDiscovery Platform deployed as a secure appliance, giving lawyers a browser-based interface with fast filtering, preserved chain of custody, and no IT expertise required. The solution accelerated and automated privileged review, enabled the firm to meet regulatory deadlines, reduced review time and client costs, and supported multiple concurrent and audit-driven investigations.
