Legal Service Providers Association Launches
The Legal Service Providers Association (LSPA), an organization dedicated to the growth and promotion of the service providers in the legal industry has launched. The organization was founded by long-time industry veterans with the goal of helping all companies compete in an increasingly demanding marketplace. “When compared to other sectors, the legal industry is primarily made up of small- to mid-sized companies,” said Jerry Correia, one of the founding directors of LSPA. “Few companies have the time it requires or the size necessary to negotiate and develop the kinds of programs and discounts available to major corporations. To combat this disadvantage, the LSPA provides each member with the purchasing power and resources of a large corporation while allowing them to focus on the ongoing innovation and service excellence our clients have come to expect.”
For more information on LSPA, visit http://www.legalspa.org, call (720) 545-9200 or email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
LST Feb/April 2012
From the Editor
2012 is shaping up to be a very interesting year for the litigation support industry. A number of trends continue to develop. Most notably is the use of predictive coding. Just this past April a Virginia state court addressed this very issue when it was asked to address the use of predictive coding for production. The specific issue centered around the two review methods – people vs. machine and which would be more efficient for document productions. The court issued an order allowing the use of predictive coding for processing and production. Between this state ruling and the recent Da Silva case ruling by the Honorable Judge Peck in the SDNY we see the trend of predictive coding materializing. We can only expect that rulings like these will open the floodgates in the use of this technology as well as calls from the vendors marketing their capabilities!
In this latest issue of Litigation Support Today we address the use of Clawback agreements and what it means to us Litigation Support Professionals. As the attorneys wrestle with the legal aspects we have to deal with the reality of either deleting or sequestering this material quickly. It’s not an easy task and keep in mind that the attorney may not be cognizant of all the places where this material may reside as well as all the steps necessary to remove it. Remember, part of our job is to educate them and manage their expectations so that they can stay better informed. Some days that is no easy task!
Best,
Albert J. Buckwalter, PMP
