10.20 Networking Break
10.50 Computer-Assisted Review: As Seen in the Field
As volumes of electronic data increase in size and complexity, the computer-assisted review workflow is becoming a more integral part of e-disclosure. While the general technology is a frequent topic of conversation, the workflow has now been used throughout the review lifecycle of numerous actual cases. During this session, Andrew Sieja, president and CEO of kCura, will discuss how computer-assisted review is being used in the field, and how these practical experiences are telling the story of the technology. The session will focus on:
- What computer-assisted review is, and how it is perceived in the field
- How computer-assisted review technology works, including statistical sampling
- The successes—and challenges—seen by end users implementing computer-assisted review
- Best practices for using computer-assisted review

11.35 The Convergence of eDiscovery and Information Governance
For inside counsel looking to advance an information governance agenda and identify risks across their enterprise, fixing small pain points first will help them build the trust of key decision makers. Join leaders in the industry for a thoughtprovoking discussion about the convergence of eDisclosure and information governance looking at the past, present and future. Compared to eDisclosure, information governance as a discipline is in its infancy. Yet many of the skills and techniques eDisclosure practitioners have developed over the past decade can also be applied to information governance. Organizations can apply the lessons learned from eDisclosure to accelerate their path towards a sophisticated information governance framework. With so much unstructured information in electronic storage containers such as email, SharePoint, file shares, social media, cloud applications and more, all in their own proprietary formats, it’s obvious that the risks of not knowing what’s going on in your organization is growing every day. The need to proactively identify risks across your organization including inappropriate behaviour, security and fraud concerns, as well as breaches around regulatory and policy compliance has never been more critical.
Topics to be discussed:
- How will eDisclosure practice change to increase focus on Information Governance between now and 2015?
- How will the judiciary’s expectations change?
- What will clients expect from their in-house counsel, law firms and litigation support partners?
- What role does technology play in advancing Information Governance?
- How can future spend be reduced by a reallocation of in-house and external resources?
- How can legal professionals lead their clients and colleagues to the best outcomes?

12.20 Vendor procurement and management: Finding the right mix of technologies, services and providers
One of the most critical phases in developing a formal eDisclosure strategy is vendor procurement and management. Having internal subject matter experts work together with your procurement team can provide an objective and truly strategic approach to sourcing. With eDisclosure now the largest investment a legal department will make, executives must actively manage the vendors chosen and work performed to ensure they receive commensurate value for their investment. However, because pricing models all vary in structure and many discovery processes are not transparent, it is extremely difficult to make procurement decisions in confidence.
- Conducting an ‘eDiscovery audit’
- When to consolidate
- Understanding – and overcoming – the risks associated with outsourcing your records management
- Identifying what eDiscovery tools (and spend) will meet your legal and infrastructure demands
- Interviewing vendors: knowing what questions to ask
- Creating an RFP to interview and short-list vendors
- Develop a standardized pricing model and performance metrics against which to measure vendors
