Zach Warren of Legaltech News, Mindy Rattan of Bloomberg, and I joined moderator Albert Barsocchini of NightOwl to discuss these issues and more and took a look ahead at the tech news we predict for 2019.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exterro.com\/resources\/top-e-discovery-storylines-2018\/\">watch the presentation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-443318\" src=\"http:\/\/abovethelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Headshot-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot\" width=\"192\" height=\"128\" \/><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/abovethelaw.com\/author\/joe-patrice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Patrice<\/a>\u00a0is a senior editor at Above the Law and co-host of <a href=\"http:\/\/legaltalknetwork.com\/podcasts\/thinking-like-a-lawyer\/\">Thinking Like A Lawyer<\/a>.
