David Stanton Answers Questions on eDiscovery

When asked what his biggest eDiscovery pet peeves are, Stanton said, “Ediscovery is a specialty. It should be recognized as such. Unless they like wasting money, losing cases and risking sanctions, companies need to bring eDiscovery expertise in-house or else engage eDiscovery counsel at an outside law firm, to help them across all of their significant projects.”

When asked what he thinks will be the big issues for eDiscovery in 2013, Stanton said, “Of creeping significance is the use of mobile devices, which host applications linked to non-local databases of user information. The discoverability of data generated with, but not stored by the application on, local devices, and the implications of bring-your-own-device policies at many organizations will draw increasing scrutiny and concern.”
