In-House vs. Outsourced Discovery Management
Presented by William Kellermann

Some see In-house vs. Outsourced Discovery as a competitive Battle Royale pitting electronic discovery professionals from litigants, outside counsel and support vendors against one another. In fact, like the MIT Blackjack Team, we are all key players in a high-stakes contest and must learn to work together. This session outlined the factors that drive management and operations of electronic discovery projects into litigant self-service, law firm or support vendor teams. The session served to illuminate the common ground and common practices all electronic discovery professionals should embrace and highlighted a strategy and mechanism for planned hand-offs to meet the challenge of unexpected events in the course of electronic discovery during the pendency of a matter.
