The Van Winkle Law Firm today announced enhancements to its litigation services with the introduction of a cloud-based e-discovery solution and a certified e-discovery specialist.
Van
Winkle’s cloud-based e-discovery platform allows information to be securely
accessed and managed from any location including a client’s office, the
courtroom or any place in between. Providing one central repository for legal
information to parties that may be geographically dispersed saves time and
money.
In
addition to investments in technology, Van Winkle is expanding its expertise in
managing the e-discovery process. Jennifer Iaquinto, one of the firm’s
litigation paralegals, is among the first group of e-discovery professionals to
pass the Certified E-Discovery Specialists (CEDS) certification examination.
The exam focuses on information management and litigation readiness, data
production and project management, among other areas.
In
the past, disputes often involved paper documents such as letters and
contracts. In today’s electronic age, email, text messages and electronic
databases have largely replaced the hand-written letter and fax. E-discovery is
the process by which electronically stored information (ESI) is identified,
collected and reviewed in legal disputes and other matters. The process can
often be time-consuming and expensive due to the sheer volume of electronic
data produced and stored.
“Savvy clients are looking at each step in the legal
process and asking, ‘Can I hire somebody else to do this step at a lower cost,
or do it better, or both?’ With our people and technology, Van Winkle can
deliver on quality and efficiency when it comes to electronic information,”
says Stephen Williamson, an attorney at Van Winkle who is experienced in the
e-discovery process.
“The economic environment has changed coming out of
recession,” says Williamson. “Economic pressures are persisting for businesses,
organizations and individuals, even though the financial crisis that caused the
recession is behind us. These pressures are causing companies to seek
innovative strategies to compete more effectively. Van Winkle is changing the
way it does business to meet those needs.”
The
Van Winkle Law Firm offers a large and experienced team of civil litigators.
Its attorneys have built a reputation for vigorous representation in state and
federal trial and appellate courts, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, U.S. Tax Court, and
before local, state, and federal regulatory boards, agencies, and commissions.
