Simultaneously applicable worldwide and laser focused on the unique requirements of UK eDisclosure, Andrew Haslam and Legal IT Insider released the 2020 Guide to UK eDisclosure Systems. Long considered the “industry bible”, now in its eighth year, the Guide includes detailed information about over 111 suppliers.
Andrew Haslam is an EDRM Global Advisory Council leader and is the UK eDisclosure Project Manager for Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP. All opinion within the Guide is Andrew’s personal viewpoint and does not represent any views, opinions or strategies of Squire Patton Boggs.
The Guide is based on Andrew Haslam’s general experience in the marketplace, also drawing from a number of vendor procurement exercises. The information on firms and software tools has been provided by the organisations themselves, albeit moderated by the author.
The remainder of the Guide contains a background to the marketplace, looking in more detail at the scope of the document and potential users, and an overview of the EDRM model. A Chapter on the technology areas provides a more detailed examination of the processes that underpin the EDRM schematic, followed by an in-depth survey of the marketplace, the vendors, current issues and potential problems.
A procurement Chapter provides the “meat” of the document with example requirements for scanning, coding, data collection and litigation support services. There is a reference Chapter for additional links to other useful sites and then the specific details of suppliers and software.
