MEETandCONFER.COM Showcases a New Budget Projector at LegalTech
31 January 2012
The MEETandCONFER.COM budget projector provides the ability to estimate the costs of e-discovery requirements during the meet and confer
New York-based MEETandCONFER.COM™ http://MEETandCONFER.COM, provider of the patent-pending e-discovery software that guides law firms and corporate counsels through the required “meet and confer” aspect of litigation, announced today at LegalTech New York that it has integrated a new budget projector module into its existing software.
Launched in August 2011, MEETandCONFER.COM guides attorneys, their clients, and opposing parties through the required “meet and confer” process. This new budget projector module allows users of the MEETandCONFER.COM system to estimate the costs of their e-discovery requirements as they proceed through the meet and confer process. This new functionality adds an extremely valuable component to the process because it allows the parties to assess the proportionality of their projected ediscovery costs with the value of the damages sought.
“With the recent launch of MEETandCONFER.COM, we’ve had considerable interest from corporate legal departments of Fortune 500 companies and AMLAW 100 firms. We are eager to show how our software streamlines the existing meet and confer processes and provides a discovery cost control mechanism that currently does not exist in most organizations,” said Scott Devens, vice president of MEETandCONFER.COM. “The new budget projector provides a snapshot of the total costs that will be associated with ESI requests during the meet and confer.”
The use of the MEETandCONFER.COM system provides consistency, defensibility, and cost-effectiveness to the handling of this crucial aspect of the e-discovery process. MEETandCONFER.COM simplifies the process by defining, structuring, and confirming all of the e-discovery steps required to cost effectively comply with the legal requirements mandated by Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as similar state court rules.
The MEETandCONFER.COM process not only assists attorneys and their opposing parties in agreeing with the content of relevant data to be collected within budgetary constraints, it also documents that the appropriate steps were taken to ensure that all relevant data is preserved to prevent spoliation. Lawyers, litigation support professionals, discovery project managers, and judges and other legal staff can use this Web-based technology.
