Bringing e-discovery review in-house is becoming more common
by the week. The days of sending legal assistants and paralegals away to
“storage camp” are becoming history not just because of the reality that the
overwhelming amount of our business information is stored electronically. It’s
because bringing review in house makes sense in terms of early case assessment
as well as costs and time.
A few developments in the legal industry are fueling this
trend, too. Inside counsel are becoming both savvier about technology and more
impatient with the inability to gain oversight on the process when review is
always and only outsourced. When counsel asks, “How far along are we in the
review process?” and receives an answer like, “Um, it’s hard to quantify
exactly,” it’s time to get a different system in place.
