EpiqEpiq presents a CLE-eligible webinar
The Trajectory of Remote eDiscovery in 2022
Practical guidelines for planning the eDiscovery program for your firm or legal department based on the latest insights.

Join legal industry analyst Ari Kaplan, Eric Crawley, Epiq’s managing director for global advanced solutions, Seth Eichenholtz, Director of eDiscovery at Mastercard, and Lora Ramsey, eDiscovery Manager at Walmart for a discussion about the current state of electronic discovery within corporate legal departments and the future of remote options in a post-pandemic environment.

Kaplan will reveal – and the panel will discuss – findings from the Epiq-commissioned report based on the perspectives of 30 leading corporate legal eDiscovery professionals about the challenges, tactics, and best practices fueling change in this sector. Eighty-seven percent of the respondents reported that they handle some document review processes with support from their outside counsel. Sixty-three percent also utilize alternative legal services providers (ALSPs). With the near-universal deployment of remote reviewers during the pandemic, only 10 percent of the respondents reported seeing disadvantages. For many organizations, the document review process involves a combination of resources and is often driven by cost and risk.

One respondent told us:

“We want the lowest cost resource that offers the highest quality work, which is not always the outside law firm.”

If you answer yes to any of these questions, this webinar is for you: 

  • How can my firm make the most informed decisions about our document review processes given the new wide acceptance of remote work?

  • Should our litigation and investigative teams work with alternative legal service providers to conduct remote review? What are the benefits?

  • What do our clients, namely corporate e-discovery professionals, think about remote review and the role of law firms in the process?

What you get:

  • 1 CLE credit (subject to bar rules). CLE codes will be announced. For questions write to CLE@LitigationConferences.com.
  • 60 minutes of insights from experienced professionals.
  • The complete PowerPoint presentation.
  • Continued access to the complete recording for later use.

What you will learn: 

  1. How corporate legal teams perceive remote discovery review and how law firms fit into their thinking.
  2. Factors that will impact legal department discovery review decisions in 2022.
  3. Ways that the alignment between law firms and service providers is fueling innovation in eDiscovery and how you can benefit.
