During Legalweek’s “Rethinking Your E-Discovery Approach for In-House Counsel” panel, in-house counsel said it’s best to take a risk- and financial-based assessment when evaluating what’s the best e-discovery process for their company.

The panelists said while the plethora of e-discovery vendors and technology innovations can be enticing, attorneys shouldn’t be blinded by the glitz of “innovation” when deciding their e-discovery process. Instead, e-discovery processes should be based on its impact to risk and the company’s bottom line.
