Sophisticated technical counsel and cost-effective, strategy-focused solutions

Information governance is the core of all business operations. Every officer, employee, and customer is a stakeholder in a company’s information governance policies and routines. And eDiscovery is often the single most significant expense in litigation. Our attorneys understand that information governance and eDiscovery counseling can create significant strategic opportunities both before and after litigation begins.

Munger, Tolles & Olson’s Information Governance and eDiscovery practice group assists clients looking to design and implement complementary systems and controls to ensure the effective balance of business needs, risk management, and litigation goals.

We have significant experience helping our clients establish thoughtful, intentional information governance policies that enable internal teams, in-house counsel, and outside counsel to efficiently serve their business needs and effectively respond to complex litigation.

We also have deep knowledge of the legal, technical and strategic issues that arise during the entire litigation life-cycle: from preservation through trial and appeal. This knowledge allows our attorneys to anticipate challenges before they arise and bring tailored solutions to our matters that aim to minimize the burden on our clients while diligently meeting their discovery obligations.

Central to these efforts is staying abreast of technological developments. Our team of dedicated technology professionals have extensive experience with IT systems, project management, workflow engineering, and cutting-edge legal technologies. We work with a range of technology platforms to remain technology-neutral, giving us significant flexibility to accommodate our clients’ internal systems and achieve our clients’ goals. Working together, our attorneys and professionals ensure that we leverage the best technology for our clients’ challenges, including the emerging Generative AI technologies that will play a critical role in those challenges going forward.

Taken together, our technical expertise and broad-ranging litigation experience allow us to provide thorough, cost-effective and tailored support to our clients’ information governance and eDiscovery efforts.
