I love articles about industry-specific eDiscovery, so Brett Burney’s article on eDiscovery for construction litigation is a terrific topic!

As Brett points out in The Dispute Resolver (eDiscovery for Construction Litigation: 3 Data Challenges to Understand, available here), construction litigation isn’t going anywhere, and the 2023 report from Arcadis found the average value of construction disputes in North America rose 42% in 2022 to $42.8 million, which is the highest it has ever been.

The report found that most parties prefer an early resolution to these disputes, which is more feasible than ever thanks to software and technology advancements that allow for faster analysis of huge document sets. This highlights the importance of having a trusted document review platform that legal teams can rely on for accurate searching and secure storage in these complex matters.

Data collection can be the most complex and technically rigorous of all discovery phases. It involves the extraction of potentially relevant electronically stored information from its native source into a separate, secure repository for review. Construction litigation creates unique challenges when it comes to managing data, and it’s essential to plan ahead and understand potential roadblocks to ensure a smooth discovery process.

So, what are three data challenges to understand when it comes to eDiscovery for construction litigation? And what are some important questions as you develop a data collection strategy? Find out here, it’s just one click! Hey, construction involves pulling pieces together, right?
