Overview

Michael Swick advises clients on the strategic application of e-discovery technology to build compelling cases while defensibly and cost-effectively meeting discovery obligations. He has worked on a broad range of matters, including complex commercial litigation, insurance coverage disputes, voting rights litigation, patent and trademark infringement, antitrust matters, and government investigations.

He has significant experience identifying key information in preparation for depositions and trial; analyzing and structuring large data sets; preparing expert witnesses; managing external teams of contractors; performing quality control and privilege reviews; and preparing privilege logs.
