The benefits of implementing effective e-discovery tools and services abound for law firms—this is not news. But some regions of the world are slowly getting on board the e-discovery train, especially as technology for the legal sector advances and information goes electronic.
India’s branch of consultancy firm Ernst and Young announced that it will implement a vertical in its business in that country to aid in back-end support to law firms. The company’s e-discovery branch will consist of 150 lawyers and bypass the laws in India that prohibit consultancy firms from offering both auditing and legal services.
