Electronic Discovery
Electronic discovery typically consumes the largest portion of any organization’s litigation budget. Because few attorneys actually understand how enterprises organize, store or manage data, most regularly miss important opportunities to reduce the volume of electronic data subject to document review. The lucrative document review industry doesn’t do much to dissuade document reduction, either.
ESI Experience
Jonathan acts as e-Discovery counsel, focusing on e-Discovery strategy to help you win your case. Currently, he’s lead e-Discovery counsel on seven class actions, each valued at tens of millions of dollars, and each with tens or hundreds of gigabytes of ESI. Jonathan’s expertise is in separating the wheat from the chaff, uncovering the evidence needed to win. He is lead counsel in negotiating the terms of e-Discovery with opposing counsel, and writes and argues discovery motions before the judges.
Electronically stored information (ESI) is what e-Discovery is all about. Through over a decade of experience building massive and complex data systems for some of the world’s largest organizations, based on the Electronic Discovery Reference Model and Jonathan’s years of technical consulting experience, Jonathan has developed an e-Discovery process that significantly reduces the e-Discovery burden, and with it, the costs and risks.
Electronic Discovery Handbook
Jonathan’s e-Discovery process will be available in a forthcoming book, The Electronic Discovery Handbook. The handbook is a step-by-step guide for in-house and outside counsel, and e-Discovery project managers on how to control an e-Discovery matter. In short, the method greatly reduces discovery costs and the exposure to sanctions from poor e-Discovery practice.
