BREAKING EVEN AND BEYOND:
COST RECOVERY IN E-DISCOVERY

2017 Relativity Fest Recorded Session

For years, many law firms treated litigation support as overhead. Today, strategic e-discovery expertise, including contemporary legal tech tools, is more than a cost to be recovered—it has become an invaluable asset. How do they adjust their business models to reflect this shift?

Representatives from varying-sized law firms sat down to share how they've transformed their litigation support, practice support, or e-discovery departments from cost centers to profit centers. And how they got their firm’s leaders on board.

In this recording you'll hear about:

  • The buy-in process for developing a cost recovery business model and who helps champion this process
  • Challenges the panelists have encountered along the way
  • How your firm’s culture might influence your approach
  • Tips to adapt to the changing marketplace of technologies, processes, and prices

Participants:

  • Kevin Clark, Litigation Support Manager at Thompson & Knight
  • Bret Libigs, Enterprise New Business Team Lead at Relativity
  • Richard Pachella, Director of the eDiscovery and Practice Advisory Service at Cozen O'Connor
  • Julia Voss, Director of Litigation Support and eDiscovery at Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale, P.C.
