Everlaw is a collaborative, cloud-based litigation platform for corporate counsels, litigators, and government attorneys that enables teams to discover, reveal, and act on information to better drive internal investigations and positively impact the outcome of litigation. Unlike slow, unwieldy, client-server software and expensive third-party service providers, only Everlaw combines speed, security, and ease-of-use into a unified, comprehensive solution that unlocks the collaborative power of teams and enables them to investigate issues more thoroughly, uncover truth more quickly, and present their findings more clearly.

In this webinar, we’ve detailed eleven practical techniques that can help you reduce eDisclosure expenses, broken down into three categories: number of documents, speed, and improved oversight.

Everlaw + The Lawyer: 11 Ways to Reduce eDisclosure Expenses

How traditional case and deposition preparations are laborious and error-prone.
Trends in purpose-built deposition preparation tools.
How Storybuilder by Everlaw can automate key workflows like building timelines, drafting narratives with drag-and-drop document links, and easily analyzing deposition transcripts.

How to Focus Case Preparation on Legal Outcomes

Recent global events have forced law firms and their IT teams to accelerate the transition to cloud technologies. The one area that continues to lag behind is ediscovery. Firms are concerned about security, data protection, and the right business model, but there has never been a better time to embrace cloud ediscovery.

Hear Everlaw’s Caitlin Reinmuth, Product Marketing Manager, and Chris Rauen, Senior Solutions Architect, discuss how law firms can transition to the cloud to enhance collaboration, scale workflows, manage costs, and protect their data.

Transforming Ediscovery in the Cloud: Why Cloud, Why Now?

The legal industry is rapidly growing, and with it, the roles of general counsels. In today’s climate, they are seen as both strategic business partners and as key members of the leadership team. However, the scope of their responsibilities can get them caught up in the day-to-day and missing the bigger picture.

Everlaw partnered with Today's General Counsel to present this webinar which Everlaw’s General Counsel Shana Simmons and Ironclad’s General Counsel Chris Young discuss their journeys in today’s rapidly changing climate and share insights on how general counsels can position themselves as better business advisors.

Redefining the Legal Department Mission: Transforming In-house Counsel

Understanding metadata and its role in ediscovery is key for attorneys to provide competent representation under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Yet, for many attorneys, how content and metadata work together remains a mystery. Without a basic understanding of what electronically stored data is, where it comes from, and how to leverage it during document review, it can be challenging to conduct effective early case assessment or craft an effective review strategy. This has far-reaching implications on meeting case deadlines while controlling costs and ultimately delivering results that satisfy clients and the court. 

Join Alexis Hayman, Customer Success Associate, Everlaw; Steven Scholtz, Customer Success Associate, Everlaw, for this session to improve your understanding and create a working knowledge of what ediscovery ingestion is.

Light Up Your Data: How Metadata Can Inform Case Strategy

Discoverable data volumes are exploding, with projections of reaching 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025. Without a prescribed map or blueprint leading them to the most critical insights, ediscovery practitioners are challenged with finding the proverbial needle in the haystack amidst this exponential data growth and the introduction of new data types. 

Modern search tools and technologies can dramatically improve the document review experience. Panelists Veronica Ramallo, Discovery Attorney at AmLaw 100 firm Blank Rome, and Greg McCullough, Lead Consultant at Fire Litigation Consulting, share their experiences and best practices for document review, including how smart searching, data visualization, and AI have helped them find “hot docs” within mountains of data. 

Attendees of this session will receive a complimentary guide on how to construct advanced content searches.

Effective collaboration is a cornerstone of productivity. In an increasingly complex world, recent global events have impacted legal ecosystems, as legal teams, witnesses, and even courts are now working remotely. Collaborating across the digital divide is essential for law firms to maintain productivity and continue to progress on legal matters. 

Join Stephanie Biehl, Senior Associate at Sher Edling LLP, Andrew Fiorella, Partner at Benesch Law, and Angela Kovach, Director of Federal Solutions and Operations at Everlaw, to discuss the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted the practice of law both currently and moving into the future. You will hear how shared spaces can enable teams to:

- Continue productive discovery to aid investigations and cases.
- Collaborate effectively within and outside an organization.
- Manage case matters, including arguing cases and conducting depositions remotely.

Everlaw Innovates: Managing Multi-Firm Litigation with Effective Collaboration

Wondering what’s new with Everlaw? The Everlaw platform is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our customers so they can focus on what matters most: core legal work. In 2020, we observed that data volumes continued to increase exponentially, new data types emerged, and the need for secure, remote collaboration was amplified during the pandemic. As the legal industry innovated to future-proof their workflows, the Everlaw Product and Engineering teams rose to the challenge and shipped over 200 features and improvements through our 4-week release cycle, including: 

- Storybuilder depositions
- Conversational search enhancements
- Quick review

In this session, Greg Marliave, VP of Product at Everlaw, will discuss the key trends in ediscovery, how new features on the platform are meeting those needs, and share exciting new developments in the product roadmap.

Everlaw Innovates: An Exclusive Look at What's in Store for 2021-22

The path to justice begins with leveling the playing field by increasing its accessibility. ABA Model Rule 6.1 says that “Every lawyer has a professional responsibility to provide legal services to those unable to pay ...and should aspire to render at least (50) hours of pro bono publico legal services per year.” However, attorneys managing complex pro bono matters for underserved clients often find an additional challenge in cost-effectively marshalling ediscovery and related resources in their pursuit of justice. Join Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich, & Rosati’s Senior Counsel and first Pro Bono Counsel, Luke Liss, and Everlaw General Counsel, Shana Simmons, for a fireside chat to discuss Luke’s path to Pro Bono Counsel and how the Everlaw for Good program helps level the playing field.

Promoting Justice by Illuminating the Truth

Traditional ediscovery models relied heavily on legal service providers. As legal workflows modernize with the adoption of cloud-based tools, corporate legal teams and outside counsel are looking for ways to collaboratively build sustainable partnerships that enable better cost efficiencies, data security, and legal outcomes. Join our panel of leading law firm and corporate legal experts from Blank Rome, Hanson Bridgett, Fidelity, and Lime as they discuss: 

- How to effectively manage corporate legal use cases other than traditional litigation.
- Best practices to implement a sustainable and collaborative in-house ediscovery model.
- Change management strategies to enable mutual success.

In this thought-provoking session, panelists will share their views on the pros and cons of bringing ediscovery in-house and how corporate legal teams and outside counsel are integral partners in that journey.

Ediscovery Influencers: A Collaborative Approach to Bringing Ediscovery In-House

2020 ushered in an unprecedented wave of disruptions, and law firms strived to sustain healthy practices amidst increasing client demands. The 2021 Report on the State of the Legal Market found that ‘most firms were able to adjust to these challenges with notable success, which is a tribute to the innovation and resiliency of law firms and their leaders.’ Which leaves us asking — what does the law firm of the future look like? Join Caitlin Reinmuth, Product Marketing Manager at Everlaw, for a discussion with ediscovery thought leaders Ari Kaplan, legal industry analyst, and Chioma Deere, ESI and eDiscovery Litigation Counsel, as we dive in to understand:

- How the pandemic has forced firms to confront operational deficiencies.
- The abrupt culture shift and how firms have responded.
- Ways in which 2020 has reshaped the characteristics of a sustainable law practice. 

Join us in this live session as we venture beyond the pandemic and into the law firms of the future.

Ediscovery Influencers: Building the Law Firm of the Future

In a world dominated by technology and disrupted by a pandemic, the legal industry is faced with an accelerated need to modernize systems, workflows, and workplace culture that enable productivity, collaboration, and profitability. With buzzwords like cloud-based, artificial intelligence, and IoT flooding technology headlines, IT departments supporting law firms and corporate legal teams need to build secure, sustainable blueprints that empower their legal teams to focus on core legal work.  

Join ediscovery luminaries Mary Mack, CEO and Chief Legal Technologist at EDRM, and Doug Austin, Editor of eDiscovery Today, as they share their learnings and predictions with Chad Williams, VP of Customer Success at Everlaw, and what they’ve gleaned from their extensive careers monitoring the legal industry.

Ediscovery Influencers: Digital Transformation for Sustainable Growth

2020 was a year unlike any other. The coronavirus pandemic brought the world to a grinding halt in March, and yet, one year later, the world has coped remarkably well by innovating and adapting to new ways of working and living. The legal industry is a prime example of that resilience, adopting technologies, workflows, and operations to maintain productivity. Facing a watershed moment, courtrooms, law firms, and in-house counsels are asking, “Is this the new normal?”

In this session, ediscovery thought leaders Kaylee Walstad, EDRM’s Chief Strategy Officer, (Ret.) Judge Andrew Peck, Senior Counsel at DLA Piper, and Craig Ball, forensic analyst and former trial lawyer, join Josh Buckler, VP of Sales at Everlaw, to discuss: 

- How innovation in legal tech in 2020 has impacted legal workflows and court practices, including hearings and depositions. 
- How the pace of innovation in legal tech in 2020 has impacted business models. 
- Who has been most impacted by these changes. 
- How ediscovery workflows like evidence identification and collection and data sources have been affected. 
- Which of these changes could be transient or transformative. 

Join us in this live session to hear about legal technology and trends that can enable law firms and general counsels to build digital resilience to future-proof their business models and ensure seamless workflows for client-friendly outcomes.

We're replaying our exciting webinar on Storybuilder by Everlaw - now available for free! 

Post-review litigation preparation traditionally occurs over email, with competing versions of outlines sent back and forth until no one is sure what’s the most up to date. Digitally preparing for trial often involves a patchwork of solutions, each with a separate cost and the added risk of importing data across different platforms. All this adds up to countless hours lost and spiraling costs that could have been better spent on substantive legal work.

Storybuilder by Everlaw is the first suite of deposition and trial preparation tools of its kind, now available for everyone at no cost. Storybuilder enables legal departments to collaborate securely with colleagues, business partners, inside or outside counsel to craft narratives and efficiently manage the end-to-end process of investigations or litigation. Narrative building ensures alignment among investigative teams by enabling collaborative organization of key documents into a compelling body of evidence. Integrated deposition tracking tools enable significant cost reductions and time savings by eliminating the need to print out physical copies of all exhibits, pass handwritten notes, and later transfer key information into an online repository. 

In a first for the legal industry, sign ups are now free for the Storybuilder by Everlaw platform.

The covid-19 pandemic has led to a rapid transformation in the legal industry. General counsels have had to swiftly implement remote collaboration tools, develop in-house resources, and rapidly adapt business strategies, all under budgetary pressures.

Remote collaboration tools have been essential to dealing with customers, workforce, suppliers and other stakeholders in the legal ecosystem. Seeking a balance between in-house and outsourced counsel while optimising productivity is one of the primary challenges. Teams are having to revisit their operational strategy to do more with less, without compromising on the client experience.

This Insight Hour will explore the recent trends for legal teams and how they are driving efficiencies to increase productivity and profitability. 
Among the key questions we will explore are:

- Which trends have seen a pandemic driven acceleration and which will last even after the pandemic?
- To what extent has technology been a key driver of efficiency?
- Is it more efficient to invest in-house or to use outside counsel? How do you balance the two to optimise productivity?
- Is covid-19 transforming D&I in the workplace, and if so, how?
