E-Discovery & Data Management

The E-Discovery & Data Management team works with all of Winthrop’s practice groups to provide clients with customized data management plans and, in the event of litigation, the background and expertise to competently and cost-effectively manage all aspects of the discovery process and trial administration.

Our Approach

When it comes to E-Discovery and Data Management, no two clients are alike.  We recognize that individuals and businesses have distinct and unique familiarity and practices with respect to the data they purposely and inadvertently create on a constant basis.  Accordingly, our team utilizes tried and true protocols and tools to provide clients with counseling and advice that fits their needs.  Regardless of whether that involves reviewing, revising, or drafting data retention protocols, or working with clients, in-house counsel, and staff to skillfully navigate the ebb and tide of discovery throughout the course of litigation, we are able to efficiently and reliably handle it all.
