Despite vendor consolidation and out-sourcing at law firms, overall legal industry demand for e-discovery employees is strong heading into 2015, according to The Cowen Group‘s “Ninth Annual Salary Survey Report,” released Dec. 18. Corporations are hiring “significant numbers of e-discovery professionals,” said David Cowen, president and managing partner at the New York City-based staffing and consulting firm.
The report anticipates 165 new positions in litigation support and e-discovery will be created in 2015, with demand for e-discovery talent up 50 percent at corporations. The annual study examines litigation support and e-discovery hiring trends.
