More About Eric
Businesses use electronically stored information (ESI) on a daily basis to conduct business, and when conflicts or questions arise, a business' ESI becomes a critical source of information for litigation and investigations. ESI can be very basic or very complex. Eric helps case teams and clients collect ESI, review it efficiently, produce it to interested parties, and leverage that ESI to advance their arguments. He crafts workflows that are innovative and defensible.
Eric's experience in e-discovery dates back to 2003. Since that time, the industry has changed and evolved tremendously. He has witnessed and been a part of a lot of that change. When he started, most discovery was still paper-based. Now it's almost exclusively digital. Eric has worked on both the "law firm" side and the "vendor" side of the industry. On the vendor side in particular, he was exposed to a hugely diverse range of matters and projects, from the small and simple, to the huge and complex.
In addition, Eric and his group are a resource that the firm goes to for answers to questions such as, "How do I do this?" or "Is there a better way to do this?" Eric and his group have the tools and the skills to help answer those questions and many more. Eric and his group also help case teams build fact chronologies, prepare for hearings and trial using industry standard trial presentation software, and on small and large scale data analysis projects.
Eric constantly monitors for new technology to stay on top of what is out there because change is inevitable. He frequently deploys new technology to deal with new challenges. For instance, Eric has been promoting and using computer-assisted learning technology in Relativity to cut down tremendously on review volume and costs.
Eric enjoys working with such a diverse group of litigation matters at Seyfarth. He advocates for the benefits of using technology and deploying that technology to manage all matters, small and large.
