How a Few Savvy Law Firms Turned E-Discovery Into a Cash Cow
Legaltech News mentions Troutman Sanders’ eMerge in a story about how savvy laws firms are leveraging e-discovery to benefit both client and firm. The author highlights several law firms who have brought eDiscovery services in-house, including Troutman Sanders, quoting the eMerge website and writing, “Troutman Sanders’ wholly owned subsidiary eMerge [combines] strategic legal thinking with e-discovery technology through a team of lawyers, technologists and project managers.” The author highlights how these law firms have generated additional revenue from e-discovery services by making significant investments in people and technology, writing, “A willingness to take risks, make investments, continually tweak the plan and generally think outside the box.” She concludes that these same creative approaches will assist proactive firms with adjusting to other shifts in the delivery of legal services such as the expanded use of artificial intelligence, “Even if firms aren’t thinking of starting an e-discovery operation, the lessons learned by those who have are applicable far beyond document review.”
