A new survey by The Cowen Group, a New York-based headhunter and research consultant, shows a strong spurt of growth in electronic data discovery workload at law firms. The survey of 88 law firm and corporate law department professionals found that 70 percent of law firms reported an increase in workload for their litigation support and e-discovery departments.
