3:00 PM PRESENTATION: WHY EDISCOVERY IS THE NEXT BIG BET FOR LEGAL INNOVATION

Attorney fees, document review, and expert witnesses are some of the biggest and least predictable cost drivers in litigation—yet many in-house teams remain dependent on outside providers and outdated processes that keep them in the dark. It’s time for a reset. Today’s AI-powered, cloud-native eDiscovery platforms are shifting control back to in-house teams—providing real-time visibility into outside counsel billing, simpler workflows, and more predictable budgets. Join our panel of discovery experts as they unpack what’s changed, why traditional approaches are breaking down, and how modern eDiscovery solutions are driving a measurable impact on legal budgets and business strategy.
