Taking E-Discovery One Step Further

An article by Skip Westfall posted on the eDiscovery Plus blogsite.

This article discusses eDiscovery expenses, and provides advice regarding the implementation of an information governance protocol as a means of reducing long term costs.


The article discusses eDiscovery costs and states, "Many corporations and law firms see the expense as a nuisance in the litigation life cycle. I have actually had counsel tell me before that they have tried and will continue to try and cut deals with opposing counsel to say "You don't ask for my electronic data and I won't ask for your electronic data." This tactic will likely be challenged as time goes on and become less and less possible.

But what if corporations used this information going forward not only on one case but as a way to track litigation? What if General Counsel could go to Human Resources or the corporate risk management team with valuable data that was mined from the e-discovery efforts of the litigation department?""
