It’s not often that I hear of an eDiscovery case that so clearly supports the belief that law firms and corporate legal teams clearly benefit from including a competent eDiscovery Manager/Administrator on their staff. Many thanks to Ralph Losey for posting an excellent review of the case on his e-Discovery Team website here. The case […]
Law firms and lawyers have an ethical responsibility to be informed and competent regarding technology use in client relationships. Proper legal hold administration falls within this responsibility, lawyers benefit greatly and meet ethical responsibility by having expertise of a legal hold administrator.
Legal Holds provide the foundation for all eDiscovery activity. Managing and administrating them is critical to reducing risk to the law firm and its clients during litigation or regulatory investigation. Law firms and corporations are well-advised to have a capable Legal Hold Administrator on staff to ensure their legal hold & eDiscovery programs perform as needed.

I recently noticed a comment in one of the many blogs I read that actually spoke to truth in a simple way; […]
Being involved in the eDiscovery industry over a period of time now, both as a consultant and as an in-house employee, I have had many occasions to come in contact with eDiscovery software promotions and informational articles. Whether through vendor websites, blog posts, promotional literature at seminars and events, personal contact…a similar them pops up […]
I just read a fascinating article about a guy who is obsessed with the idea of preserving a “record” or what might be considered a time capsule in grand terms of who we are, not just for future generations but for eons beyond our time…for the civilizations that will replace us, or the aliens who […]
While reading the numerous blogs and articles emphasizing increased efforts to have attorneys be more cooperative in their “meet and confers” and ongoing conferences, I happened to recall some legal work of Louis Brandeis before he ascended to the US Supreme Court. Not that I’m a legal scholar, but I enjoy reading of the works of […]
