Attorneys as Technologists
As the founder of the Electronic Discovery and Data Management practice group at Troutman Sanders, I've spent a lot of time advising clients on the efficient management, production, and use of electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation. With the continued growth in the volume of ESI involved in even the smallest of matters, we made a big decision ' to create Troutman Sanders eMerge, a wholly owned subsidiary of the firm dedicated to consulting, project management, and technology services related to ESI in litigation and internal/governmental investigations.
The decision to separate the group in this way required a great deal of thought and effort. We had to ask ourselves: 'How can we continue to offer strategic legal advice on e-discovery while also leveraging the tremendous technological advancements in the space?' We recognized that achieving this would require talented staff immersed in the legal and technical issues ' and the software ' of e-discovery on a regular basis. These are the types of factors law firms should consider when developing e-discovery solutions. For eMerge, this meant leveraging the talents of our team to create a viable business centered on e-discovery and the management of ESI.
