Why eDiscovery Vendors Are Moving Beyond eDiscovery: Conversation With CDS Legal’s Kate Hutchinson

More and more eDiscovery vendors are looking at technology-enabled contract review.

After the Legaltech Show in February of 2017, I predicted that eDiscovery and contract review were ultimately going to cross paths. My focus at the time was on the technology side — it seemed to me that the gap between eDiscovery software and the newer contract review platforms was negligible. Perhaps I should have focused more on the service side because, at the moment, more and more eDiscovery vendors are looking at technology-enabled contract review plus other process-driven work typically handled by pricey associates at law firms as a blue ocean opportunity. I fully expect “non-eDiscovery work” to be topic of conversation in Chicago at Relativity Fest in two weeks, where many of the leading eDiscovery vendors will be in attendance.

To get some early intelligence on this emerging trend, I’m kicking off a live conversation with Kate Hutchinson, who is the Director of Marketing at CDS. To follow the conversation as it unfolds, drop in your email below and click follow!
