“Advice from Counsel—The Emerging E-Discovery Playbook” is the latest report from FTI Technology analyzing how corporate practitioners are managing electronic data discovery, and what is changing.
A division of FTI Consulting Inc., the unit, for the fifth year, contracted with Ari Kaplan Advisors to interview 30 in-house legal professionals with EDD responsibilities at Fortune 1000 corporations. This year’s report concludes that in-house shops have taken on EDD as an internal specialty area. In the initial 2009 report, respondents said they had responsibility for EDD, but only 14 percent acknowledged “e-discovery” or “technology” in their title. This year that number rose to 37 percent of respondents.
