I posted an article discussing my prediction of
changes in e-discovery in 2009. Based on the trends I am seeing, here are changes that I expect will occur in 2009:
- E-Discovery plans will become standard at large corporations.
- Infrequently litigated companies will increasingly utilize e-discovery consultants.
- Small law firms and solo practice attorneys will increasingly use e-discovery in their cases.
- E-Discovery pricing models will change.
- E-Discovery will increasingly expand to include evidence on the internet.
- E-discovery specialization will increase.
- Law firms will increasingly establish cross-function e-discovery teams.
- The electronic discovery industry will continue to grow.
Admittedly, this is an incomplete list. (But it's the best I could do in the time I allotted to write the blog post.)
Others probably have countless other predictions or ideas regarding e-discovery changes that will occur in 2009.
What are you seeing? From your perspective, what trends or changes are happening or will happen over the next year?
Similarly, do you expect any changes in ESI law?
