Electronic discovery, whether resulting from litigation or government investigation, continues to take on an increasingly larger role in the overall discovery process. Similarly, the role of corporate counsel in ensuring that the organization is prepared to meet its discovery obligations has grown more complex and challenging, especially given the recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Corporate legal teams that plan for the inevitable and understand their readiness for litigation or investigation are better able to manage the cost, time and risk associated with e-discovery. By approaching discovery as an organized business process, corporate counsel can systematically and effectively manage the increasingly complex nature of e-discovery response.
