A Look Behind, A Look Ahead: Part Two - E-Discovery

By Steve Salkin
February 01, 2020

Cybersecurity Law & Strategy partnered with our ALM sibling Legaltech News to ask cybersecurity and e-discovery experts what they thought the key trends of 2019 and what they expect to see in 2020. Part One, last month, covered cybersecurity; Part Two looks at e-discovery.

Joey Seeber, CEO, Level 2 Legal Solutions: We are winning clients because we have chosen the path of independence from private equity. We are winning clients because we have not been bought or sold in the past five years, which was literally a question on a recent large RFP. And if you have been bought or sold, you are eliminated. When we dug deeper, the e-discovery in-house counsel told us that they will not work with service providers who have been bought or sold in the past five years because their service levels drop dangerously. Clients can't count on any continuity of people, process, or efficiency. Everything is about the short gain. Thankfully, our business model is proving strong.
