Earlier this week, I attended an invitation-only breakfast hosted by David Cowen, the managing director of The Cowen Group, an executive search and market analysis firm focusing exclusively on litigation support and e-discovery. The event featured an esteemed panel of thought leaders in e-discovery sharing insider accounts of the early case assessment trend and strategies for conducting one successfully. The attendees and panelists hailed from corporate America, the AmLaw 200 and vendors, including Anacomp, Capital Legal Solutions, DataCert and Recommind, who co-sponsored the program.
