The e-Discovery Balancing Act
There are two unstoppable trends in e-discovery. First, corporate executives are becoming acutely aware that they are ultimately responsible for their organization's e-discovery results, which in some instances is a rude awakening since they can no longer claim ignorance or try to put the blame for any missteps on their law firms or litigation-support providers.
