E-Discovery
E-discovery today means increased expectations and higher risks. As regulatory, legislative and judicial concerns become more demanding, so do clients' needs for expert counsel on how to manage the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). Paul, Weiss lawyers and technology professionals have this expertise.
Our Experience
We have been at the forefront of e-discovery since its beginning, and managed an extensive roster of ESI-intensive matters for our clients, involving terabytes of data and dozens of parties. Our experience includes:
- regulatory investigations
- securities litigations
- class actions
- product liability litigations
Our Approach
We focus on proactive management of e-discovery matters to deliver the highest quality results while managing risk and containing costs to our clients. Our e-discovery practice is distinguished by true teamwork. The lawyers who oversee the litigation, the legal support professionals who review the electronic information and the e-discovery project managers who manage the data all work, train, and strategize together.
Our Team
Every litigation team at Paul, Weiss includes an e-discovery project manager: a thoroughly trained e-discovery professional who works side-by-side with the lawyers on the team. From the outset of a case, the e-discovery project manager plays a critical role, working with lawyers to help clients mitigate risk and find the most cost-effective and defensible e-discovery strategy that will deliver the highest quality results.
Our lawyers and technology professionals are highly regarded experts in the e-discovery industry, frequently publishing and speaking on issues related to the discovery of ESI. They are also sponsors and active participants in national groups dedicated to developing standards for e-discovery practice, including The Sedona Conference (
www.thesedonaconference.org) and the Electronic Discovery Reference Model - EDRM (
www.edrm.net).
