Data Analytics: e-Discovery Accuracy, Defensibility and Cost Efficiency

Eugene Eames

Keyword-based automated search tools are not necessarily accurate, especially when the search terms are brainstormed by counsel in a vacuum. And new-age concept-based tools, while often quite effective at targeting documents based on subject matter or concept, are technologically hard to explain and, as a result, hard to defend. Data analytics adds testing and analysis to keyword-based search, providing litigators with more accuracy and defensibility ' often at a much lower cost.

Coverage Litigation Should Be Stayed to Avoid Prejudice to the Insured Image

Coverage Litigation Should Be Stayed to Avoid Prejudice to the Insured

Linda Kornfeld

More and more often insureds are being forced to litigate with their insurers to protect rights under insurance policies, while at the same time those insureds must actively defend against the very litigation for which they seek insurance coverage. Indeed, insurers often will pursue litigation against their insureds to establish the absence of any coverage obligation if there appears to be a question regarding the existence of a defense or indemnity obligation with respect to underlying litigation. Alternatively, due to potentially applicable statutes of limitation, or a need to seek judicial intervention to force an insurer to assist in an underlying defense for which the insurer has refused coverage, an insured may be required to file coverage litigation before underlying litigation is concluded.
