The evolution of an industry and the change we face in the legal business has always interested me. So it goes for records managers. Just when you think you’ve got some aspect of the legal technology space figured out, someone comes along and raises the stakes by introducing technology or a new operational model. One thing I always say –and...
Not quite; but cybersecurity and information governance folks need to pay attention to these changes. Two years ago, New York’s Department of Financial Services (DFS), which regulates companies in the financial services industry, promulgated regulations in an effort to establish minimum cybersecurity requirements for companies that do business in New York (see, 23 NYCRR 500 or click here). Last month...
This is a lesson learned for corporate legal, law firm and e-discovery professionals everywhere.
I’m all about working smarter, not harder. And, if there’s one thing that’s accomplished with artificial intelligence and machine learning in particular, it’s that they produce smart output. Think about it. Technology assisted review platforms can parse millions of documents and save tons of time and money in document review; rather than have lawyers billing by the hour put eyes...

Of course, most of my career has been on the law firm side, so I don’t claim to have an insider’s view of all the trappings of Fortune 500 legal departments.

And when I was younger I studied and then played music for a number of years (at least until I realized I needed a job with health...
In case you have not noticed, a consistent theme throughout my writing is the preparation of organizations for those occasions when another entity takes legal action against them. You will see that in my writing on information governance, on managing successful projects, and on e-discovery in general. Planning is the first of the five Ps I know I’m beginning to...
Those who are unwilling or unable to adapt, like dinosaurs, will find it difficult to survive.
If there is one cause of consternation among law firms, consultants and service providers –those who mostly collect and process ESI—it is a project in which the client organization has poor information governance practices. I am reminded of this because a few weeks ago at The Master’s Conference in Washington, D.C., I told the audience that information governance practices are...
Corporate legal operations folks need to pay attention to this Court Decision One of the things that has always puzzled me is how some of the smartest people in the world could behave so irresponsibly when it comes to legal matters. I’m not a lawyer, and granted, I’ve worked around lawyers long enough that some of their tendencies if not...
