The Inevitable Reinvention of the e-Discovery Industry
Electronic discovery professionals should consider a future where their current skills no longer merit the salaries they are accustomed to commanding. The current talents and knowledge bases that allow for professional leverage or vertical mobility in today's e-discovery job market still have, and will always have, immense value to their employers.
