Leveraging Technology to Implement a Successful E-Discovery Strategy

A presentation that highlights areas within the litigation lifecycle where use of technology can increase the quality of a law firm’s work product, such as:

  • Leveraging technology to identify key issues and concerns early-on so resources can be allocated appropriately;
  • Harnessing technology to define and target the most important and relevant information requiring review, therefore containing cost; and
  • Relying on technology to organize and present key information in front of finders of fact.

Open Sesame: How IT & Legal Can Overcome Common Obstacles in E-Discovery

This discussion focuses on the overlapping roles of IT and legal counsel regarding data management, retention and back-up policies and discuss strategies for how IT and legal counsel can work seamlessly to approach evidence-handling to minimize the probability of an adverse impact downstream.
