Notable eDiscovery Matters:
- Subsequent to a massive data breach, assisted a governmental agency with identification of individuals, and the associated data type, compromised in the breach under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Worked closely with the client and our technology team to develop a detailed training manual ensuring data that needed to be protected under GDPR was properly identified. Created a bespoke report for the client to leverage in its compliance and disclosure requirements under GDPR.
- As the U.S. and EMEA Lead, managed over 100 personnel to ensure both U.S. and EU data was processed, reviewed, and produced in line with court-ordered production timelines. Worked closely with the Client’s Discovery Manager to coordinate and track all Discovery requests. Given client constraints and concern over EU data protection, provided a new solution ahead of production. After client approval to proceed with the new strategy, drafted documentation and trained a select team to implement the new workflow. At project completion, provided detailed information to the client board and highlighted $4M+ in cost avoidance, with the bulk of those savings stemming from the new data protection strategy.
- As Lead Review Manager for multi-district and cross-border litigations, supervised, trained, and simultaneously managed several litigations across multiple on and off-shore locations.
- As Senior Review Manager, identified a lower-cost solution for a complex contract management project that was in jeopardy of missing deliverable milestones and exceeding agreed-upon budget parameters. After reviewing the existing training documentation and process workflow, identified areas to streamline the workflow while increasing the quality of the final output. Quickly spun up a new review team to support existing resources during the start of the global pandemic allowing the existing team and project team leads to stay on track and within budget.
