How E-Discovery Counsel Makes A Difference



http://ow.ly/6Xly2

An interview posted on the Metropolitan Corporate Counsel website. The Editor interviews Brendan M. Schulman , E-Discovery Counsel at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP.

The article poses a series of questions related to eDiscovery issues, and provides the responses from Mr. Schulman.

One of the interesting points Mr. Schulman makes is, "Relatively few firms have a dedicated E-Discovery Counsel who focuses on legal standards and defensible discovery strategies. Yet courts are increasingly expecting lawyers to appear before them at an early stage, well-versed in a client's data systems and related technical issues. For example, the August 2010 amendments to New York Uniform Rules 202.12(b) and (g) added the requirement that counsel who appear at the preliminary conference must be "sufficiently versed in matters relating to their clients' technological systems to discuss competently all issues relating to electronic discovery."
