A recent study of Fortune 1000 counsel shows that most corporations today prefer to work with fewer providers. One reason: parceling out the discovery process to multiple providers increases complexity while also reducing accountability. Trying to minimize e-discovery costs by finding the lowest cost provider for each step in the e-discovery process may backfire and increase the total cost of discovery.

The reason? Hidden costs.

Because competitive providers have no incentive to work collaboratively, or to think comprehensively about the entire process, their efforts may overlap. Handoffs between providers may result in accountability gaps, increasing both cost and risk. The relationship of "review providers" to law firms is often hostile, with law firms unable to effectively participate in the review process or to understand what the documents contain.

Attend this webinar to identify those hidden costs and understand your "total cost of document discovery.” You’ll hear from an experienced panel of legal experts, including Kevin Harrang, former deputy general counsel, legal and corporate affairs, Microsoft Corp., and Manfred Gabriel of FTI Technology, as they discuss their firsthand experience with hidden legal costs, how to develop more collaborative relationships and workflow between service providers and outside counsel, and the benefits of an emerging trend in e-discovery: integrated document review.

This session was designed to help inside counsel and corporate legal teams better understand:

How to identify hidden costs in e-discovery and document review
How to measure the total cost of document review
The elements of a collaborative working relationship between the corporate client, its outside counsel and its review providers

Featured Speakers:
