Are there disagreements in the eDiscovery landscape? According to a Nextpoint survey covered by Elizabeth Guthrie, there might be.

As discussed in her post titled (wait for it!) (Disagreements in the eDiscovery Landscape: How Attorneys and Paralegals See Modern Challenges Differently available here), the “Nextpoint eDiscovery Landscape” survey was designed to get to the heart of what’s moving the industry forward (or holding it back). It focused on learning and measuring the problems, priorities, and predictions from all levels of law firms and corporate legal teams.

Guthrie states: “We learned so much from our respondents — not only from the answers themselves, but in the ways their answers varied across industries and job types.”

The survey showed one key area of agreement across job levels, firm types, and firm sizes. The primary challenge for firms practicing ediscovery is in “Document management, review, and reduction.” As Guthrie notes: “When you consider the quantity and variety of data legal professionals must work with in ediscovery, it’s no surprise that this is the biggest challenge.”

So, in what areas were there less agreement between attorneys versus paralegals and other legal support personnel? Find out here, it’s just one more click! We can all agree that clicking is the way to find out! 😉

So, what do you think? What observations do you find to be most noteworthy? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
