Spriggs & Hollingsworth has 60 lawyers who specialize in complex trial and appellate work, and we consider ourselves among the nation's leading litigation firms. As Chief Technology Officer for the firm, it is my responsibility to ensure that we provide technology solutions that focus on practice management, extranet availability and management, document discovery management, deposition management, trial presentation and preparation, document production and network infrastructure and internal computer systems.
