The Masters Conference: focus on eTERA Consulting – “we continue to look at the contract attorney marketplace for new talent”

The Masters Conference starts tomorrow in Washington, DC and runs for two days (click here).   A number of presenters are already in D.C., as well as a number of vendors, so we have been able to begin our coverage.  One of them is DC-based eTERA Consulting.

With the continued growth and expansion of eTERA Consulting, the company has recently hired project managers and senior case consultants. Joe Kanka, Vice President of Corporate Development, told The Posse List in a an interview that “eTERA Consulting continues to look at the contract attorney marketplace in order to identify and attract new talent that fits our business model.”  In addition, eTERA Consulting is anticipating the staffing of upcoming document review projects for its clients.  “Our ability to tap into the contract labor pool allows us to provide the flexible staffing solutions that clients require from us,” said Kanka.   eTERA Consulting is an example of the trend we have reported :  the march of EDD vendors into document review, moving into the “right side” of the EDRM and thereby moving into all aspects of the model, as corporations turn to these companies to secure more ownership over the entire e-discovery process to enhance control and reduce costs. 

eTERA Consulting also recently announced that it has teamed up with the law firm of Sheppard Mullin in order to provide a series of CLE Corporate Briefing Seminars discussing antitrust enforcement and emerging legal issues under the Obama Administration. The first Corporate Briefing Seminar will be held in November will focus on Managing a Cartel Investigation. The seminar series will cover a wide range of legal, case management and electronic discovery issues that corporate counsel must manage.
