Building An Effective e-Discovery Team

When faced with the unpredictable scope of e-discovery, today's corporate counsel require the adaptability of e-discovery teams to effectively manage electronic information involved in litigation. It seems a given maxim with sure results: Adaptability is a key component of being prepared. Indeed, by establishing clear lines of communication between its members, an effective e-discovery team is paramount to controlling costs and realizing production deadlines. Formalized lines of communication enable the team to quickly adapt as variables in the case change once the discovery process begins. Conversely, a corporation without such a team exposes itself to potentially problematic e-discovery efforts where spiraling costs and harried productions are common.
