Between collection, storage, analysis and numerous other tasks associated with the process, discovery often turns into the most-time intensive — and therefore costly — part of litigation. However, technology can make even the most arduous review simpler… as long its utilized effectively.

In a webcast entitled “Time is Money: Streamlining the E-Discovery Review Process,” to be presented Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 1 p.m. ET, e-discovery experts will tackle how legal firms and corporate counsel of all sizes approach their e-discovery process, with the goal of efficient, yet still comprehensive, review at the forefront. Through the webcast, the panelists will help companies and law firms answer three key questions:

|
  • Do you have efficient processes in place?
  • How do you know you've gathered the right data?
  • What's the most efficient manner to store, evaluate and transfer data?

The panelists include Geoffrey Vance, firmwide chair of Perkins Coie's e-discovery services and strategy group; Kim Taylor, president of Ipro and former co-founder and CEO of Lex Solutio; and Erin Harrison, editor-in-chief of Legaltech News.

Writing for Legaltech News in June, Vance noted that modern day lawyers seem to be light years behind when it comes to e-discovery. “I've concluded that the real problem rests with attorneys (in most cases, partners) of law firms who do not understand the value of TAR. After all, it's those attorneys that have direct access to the clients that are in the best position to identify times when TAR can and should be used and know enough about the client, matter and related data to explain how TAR can reduce client expenses and improve client deliverables.”
