December 19, 2011Working well together is a skill that most of us learned in kindergarten. However, for IT and legal departments, it’s a skill that they are still learning to master. But according to Recommind’s third annual survey on the working relationship between corporate IT and legal departments, the two departments are getting better about working together.

November 7, 2011The linear review process used to be manageable, when we lived in a paper-based world, but in the digital age it simply cannot handle the volume of electronically stored information (ESI) — let alone the subtlety of language used in global business. One way of dealing with information overload in the legal, regulatory and investigative worlds is predictive coding. Predictive coding has made a splash this year, but we are still only at the start of the journey for this sophisticated technology.

October 25, 2011Traditional document review in the age of e-discovery is reaching the point of infeasibility. Setting hordes of attorneys in front of computer screens to review and code millions (sometimes billions) of records is not only prohibitively expensive, but often results in errors and inconsistent quality.

October 1, 2011Consider these two words as a new glimmer on the dark horizon of the ever-expanding e-discovery world: predictive coding. The thinking machine’s answer to manually sifting through hundreds of thousands of e-documents for a few shreds of evidence, predictive coding shoulders e-discovery grunt work at speeds that can be blazing—and with results that are reportedly at least as reliable as document reviewers.

September 28, 2011Forecasting where technology can take litigation and understanding the steps needed to get there are great strengths of Steven Berrent’s, say those who know the managing director of WilmerHale’s Discovery Solutions.

The challenge for the rest of us, when we examine our anti-corruption compliance programs, can usually be summed up with either “lack of resources,” or “need to enhance our due diligence program,” (usually a euphemism for “we have no real due diligence program”), or just plain business push-back because of real or perceived inefficiencies.

September 8, 2011What's in a name? Inspired by a recent Mashable post looking at the origins of prominent, yet mysteriously named, social media companies such as Twitter, I sought to decipher the corporate names of nine prominent legal technology companies. These are not companies with founders as namesakes (e.g., Levit & James). These companies' monikers beg the question: Why are they named that? It's not that the names are necessarily hard to pronounce or illogical, it's that they're what I'd call unusual. Admittedly, that's not an unusual thing for tech companies -- just ask Google.
