Technology research house Gartner Inc. is now covering corporate legal matters such as document management, e-billing and matter management and tracking of outside counsel, to be led by compliance and governance expert John Wheeler.
Those fields, along with business process management, now live under an umbrella that Gartner calls enterprise legal management. ELM is a $150 million to $200 million market, Wheeler estimated. The estimate compares to the e-discovery market, which Gartner this summer said is $1 billion and growing.
