Discovery continues to grow more complex. Modern data sources are multiplying, costs are under increasing scrutiny, and legal teams are being asked to make better decisions earlier in the lifecycle of a matter.
In a recent eDiscovery Today Thought Leader Interview, Insight Optix CEO and Managing Director Mandi Ross sat down with Doug Austin to discuss how legal teams are rethinking traditional approaches to discovery and legal hold management.
The conversation explores some of the challenges shaping eDiscovery today, including:
- What is driving the continued shift left in the EDRM.
- Why legal hold technology needs to evolve beyond traditional notice-and-acknowledgment workflows.
- How earlier discovery scoping, strategy and budgeting can help teams make more informed decisions.
- Why the traditional “collect everything, review later” approach remains so persistent — and the cost and risk it can create.
- Where today’s discovery technology often falls short of the way legal teams actually need to work.
Mandi also discusses the broader concept of legal data intelligence and how Insight Optix is approaching the connection between legal hold, discovery planning, and early case strategy.
