This article will continue my analysis on whether or not bringing software in house is the best choice for most firms.How Do I Use It?Another consideration when deciding whether to purchase eDiscovery software is expertise.  Using eDiscovery [...]

It was just over a year ago that I wrote an article about whether or not the evolution of eDiscovery was forcing law firms to change business models. The question that article proposed was: would law firms become eDiscovery service providers, bringing technology solutions (either their own or partner-provided) to the table, focus on the practice of law, or both? Certainly, we have seen law firms get into this business before, back when it was possible to command over $1,000 per GB for processing data. Many firms got addicted to this revenue, only to be disappointed as processing got commoditized and margins disappeared.

We expect that this year will see record attendance, at least for the exhibit halls and sponsored sessions. With the eDiscovery market in full recovery [...]

With Legal Tech New York 2013 right around the corner, it is a good time to explain what an industry analyst looks for at a show as big as LTNY. A large event like LTNY provides the opportunity for an analyst to get a pulse for the industry. The likely hot topics for the year become evident in vendor tag-lines and in educational sessions.

Another year, another LegalTech New York. But 2013’s LTNY was not just a regular old conference; rather, this year’s show was marked by high energy and a positive vibe. Overall, the biggest theme that came through to me was progress. eDiscovery professionals are making real progress on the ground. The hyperbole about what might happen was muted by the discussion about what is happening or what kinds of real plans are in place. The theme of progress resonated with me because of three trends that surfaced at LTNY 2013: fervor around information governance (IG); more pragmatism around technology-assisted review (TAR) and predictive coding; and a closer examination of the implications of privacy and related security issues.

Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Greg Buckles. Published: 2013-02-06 10:07:51  This year’s LegalTech New York was my favorite of the fourteen that I have attended so far. The first reason is that we (the eDJ team) went with a plan that included plenty of time to walk the exhibit halls and dedicated down time to write notes and decompress. I took my own advice for [...]

I agree with Greg’s post that this was the best LTNY I’ve attended in quite a few years in terms of energy and positive vibes.  I really enjoyed walking the show floor this time around because I was [...]

Published: 2013-02-11 09:00:47  At least a dozen friends have inquired about my health after the big push of Global Aerospace news came out last week, since there were no blog posts by me. As a participant in the case, I figured it was more important to let others weigh in on the significance of this decision as a [...]
