Relativity Fest 2022 was a fabulous time after my ILTA travel catastrophe. Instead of booking up briefings with the Relativity team, key channel partners and peers, I built a session agenda and spent a lot of time talking with attendees. This blog will be a mix of my own (italics) and attendee perspectives on Fest and how Fest topics signal eDiscovery trends. Let’s start [...]
Casepoint entered the cloud eDiscovery platform market in 2008. I had always classified it as a firm focused large matter boutique hosting platform based on their good reputation and minimal marketing presence. David Carns and Athena Strasel updated me on Casepoint’s changing role and architecture in before and after the Pandemic pause. Casepoint’s successful bid to replace Recommind as the SEC’s primary eDiscovery platform [...]
Stephen Arnold does a good job reality checking cloud system search and reviewing an interesting article on Google search. In the early days of eDiscovery, I learned the hard way that not all search engines or collection types returned accurate, complete results. eDiscovery marketing messaging has highlighted the gaps and limitations of native enterprise and archive search. Today I see those same eDiscovery platforms [...]
I enjoy meeting eDiscovery peers, especially those whose social media content bring me new perspectives and pro tips. Jerry Bui’s videos and articles attracted my attention and ILTA was a good excuse to catch up on FTI Technology. 7 degrees of eDiscovery It is always fun to share eDiscovery journeys and find common employers, friends and experiences. Jerry brings a fresh perspective to the [...]
Richard Robinson bravely posted his 2010 vs. 2022 profile pics and I promised myself I would step up. I have been coasting on my 2008 headshot for WAYYY too long. I was dodging a request for a ‘hi-res’ headshot for my recent Veritas Live! Session with Irfan Shuttari. Richard’s post made me grab my camera and ask my fabulous partner Lauren to take some [...]
Doug Austin & eDiscovery Today Many years ago, Doug Austin and I worked several corporate and criminal defense matters together. I was happy to see Doug launch eDiscoveryToday.com during all the Pandemic chaos. He dedicates the time and networks to publish daily eDiscovery news, bringing us all content that we do not have the time to run down. “When you set the expectation of [...]
I met with Dave Lewis (Chief Scientific Officer) and Mark Noel (CIO) to explore Redgrave Data since its launch in January by five well known eDiscovery experts. Defining Redgrave Data Our industry is filled with technology and service companies spun off from successful law firms. Despite the name and law firm partnership, none of Redgrave Data’s founders came from Redgrave LLP to form the [...]
In the bad old days before eDiscovery tools, it was a common defense tactic to ‘dump truck’ a small plaintiff with literal trailer loads of bankers boxes filled with irrelevant paper. Given that Liz Cheney knows the rough page count of the Secret Service production, it was printed to paper or images before being produced. Why not just produce the native Electronically Stored Information [...]
Relativity is clearly looking upstream to expand their position from the dominant large matter review platform to apply legal technology to broader enterprise information governance usage cases. Waiving user fees and rolling Legal Hold into the RelativityOne data subscription allows litigation adjacent stakeholders to use the platform without monthly overhead. 2018’s Relativity Trace offering marked entry into the risk management and compliance market. I [...]
I caught up with Rachi and Shimmy Messing after my failed attempt to reach ILTACON to hear about their new venture ALTorney.com, a cloud marketplace to connect document reviewers with clients. This is the first of many rescheduled briefing reports. I hope that you enjoy the expanded content and quotes created through the KnowNow meeting features. So what is ALTorney? Rachi and Shimmy Messing [...]
