An article by Barry Murphy posted on the eDiscovery Journal website.
This article looks at results of a recent survey of General Counsel respondents, referenced in an article by Christopher Spizzirri, a link to that item is provided in Mr. Murphy's post.
The article states, "...75% of General Counsel rank outside counsel not providing adequate support for eDiscovery requirements as a top frustration of the past year. And, 63% of GCs rank the same issue as a top concern for the next year."
The article further states, "...many law firms are creating specific eDiscovery groups to better support clients. I spoke to one such firm a few months back. The firm is committed to alternative fee engagements; understanding budgets and what goes into a matter is critical. As a result, the firm chose to begin using predictive coding. And, the firm manages the whole project internally. This firm built a technology team and a robust staff attorney program and an eDiscovery attorney team. All staff are located in the same city and office. For this firm, the key driver was clients – the clear message from clients was that the cost of document review is too expensive and unpredictable."
I don't know the reason they're not meeting the eDiscovery's expectation but I think this is such a good way for the clients to easily reach us. I work in kenwise lawyer associates in Toronto and I think this would certainly be able to bridge gaps between hesitant clients.
