LA-based Litigation partner David Stanton recently participated in a panel on “Discovery and Technology in Disputes” in the Q3 2015 issue of Corporate Disputes magazine. He and other members of the panel discussed the impact technology is having on the dispute resolution process, and Stanton described how technological advances touch virtually every stage of disputes.
“Technology has impacted civil disputes by changing the kinds of events and circumstances our disputes are about, altering the means by which parties and witnesses interact, and thereby transforming the types and sources of documents and other artefacts used to reconstruct events and prove what happened,” he said.
Additionally, Stanton offered advice to parties about how to manage information more effectively:
“Organizations would be well served to centralize their discovery materials into a unified repository and to pick someone to be in charge of it,” he said. “This helps ensure discovery-related tasks are handled consistently, provides someone to hold accountable for budgeting and costs, and allows data security concerns to be addressed as they arise.”
