eDiscovery is an unavoidable part of modern litigation and regulatory response, but for many corporate legal teams, it’s also an uncontrollable cost center.

Corporate legal teams often face significant financial challenges, particularly when preparing for litigation. One of the most pressing issues is the concept of “sunk costs” associated with eDiscovery.
