  • Provide strategic guidance on privilege management, including log strategy, categorical logging, redactions, and clawback agreements.
  • Develop, manage, and report on discovery budgets, forecasts, and cost-control strategies.
  • Supervise review teams and coordinate seamlessly with internal resources and external vendors to ensure quality and efficiency.
  • Train and mentor attorneys and staff on eDiscovery best practices, litigation technology, and evolving workflows.
  • Stay at the forefront of developments in eDiscovery law, analytics, AI, and emerging technologies, integrating innovation into practice.
