Not really up on that whole Big Data thing? In the future, you may not have a choice.

“As data volumes continue to grow, to stay relevant, lawyers are going to need to turn to analytics to help them enhance productivity, gain quick and efficient insights into their data sets, and really analyze business issues,” says Bobby Malhotra, e-discovery counsel at Munger, Tolles & Olson.

But why exactly does Malhotra say lawyers need analytics, and what should they do about it? That's what the panelists at “The Future of Analytical Strategies” session at Legalweek West on Tuesday, June 13 in San Francisco intend to answer. Malhotra will moderate the panel, and Kathleen McConnell, senior counsel of e-discovery and information governance at Seyfarth Shaw, and Thomas Barnett, special counsel of e-discovery and data science at Paul Hastings, will be speakers.
