E-Discovery

E-Discovery

The E-Discovery lawyers at GRSM have three primary goals in mind when serving clients:

1. Help clients understand their E-Discovery obligations;
2. Reduce business and legal risks associated with electronically stored information; and
3. Efficiently and cost-effectively comply with legal and regulatory requirements involved in private litigation and government investigations.

Importance of E-Discovery

The explosion of both the volume and form of electronic data has made the process of properly managing electronically stored information (ESI) critical, both before, during and after litigation.  Multi-million dollar sanctions, adverse jury instructions, and even findings of spoliation are not uncommon.  The E-Discovery Practice Group at GRSM helps clients navigate this complex and rapidly evolving arena of risk.  Members of the firm's E-Discovery Practice are leaders in this field.
