Fios Webinar Promotes Project Management in E-discovery

Yesterday, Fios put on an excellent webinar titled The Value of Project Management in e-Discovery (for details click here for link).   Fios will make available an audio recording of this webinar (which they do for all of their webinars) so be sure to check the link to the Fios e-Discovery Knowledge Center (see link in last paragraph below).

We were about to prepare a recap this particular webinar when Paul Easton (Managing Director at Global Colleague) produced a very thorough one which you can access with relevant links by clicking here.  As Paul neatly sums up: legal project management is cost control, schedule predictability, and risk management; with improved communication tying them all together.

As we have said in previous posts (most recently here), electronic discovery vendors and corporations rely on talented project managers to steer the e-discovery task from start to finish.   It is an area of growing sophistication.  It is an area in which many contract attorneys and other Posse List members have found work and is becoming a growing percentage of our job posts, and it comports with the continuing trend:  the “left-side” of the EDRM model is the place to be and it is driven by vendors and the corporation client.

Note:  Fios is the home of e-discovery guru Mary Mack.  Mary and Fios have provided The Posse List with loads of information on the e-discovery market — all at no charge — which we disseminate to the Posse List membership.  The above cited webinar is part of a series of webinars and webcasts which are free and you can see what is coming up by clicking here.

And use their fabulous e-Discovery Knowledge Center (click here) where you will find a wealth of information and where you can download a free copy of Mary’s e-discovery book A Process of Illumination: the practical guide to electronic discovery.  It is a great read for Posse List members who want to know the whole A-to-Z of e-discovery and understand where the document review element (the “right-side” of the EDRM where most of us reside) fits in the whole process.
