UnitedLex, a leading global legal services provider, today announced it will be showcasing its ground-breaking new QuestioTM e-discovery managed service at the upcoming LegalTech New York 2014 conference (Booth # 2018), highlighting recent success stories, and discussing how the service can save up to millions of dollars - per case - on e-discovery costs. The company will also be hosting two informative panels on e-discovery and cyber security at the show (Feb. 4-6, 2014; New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY).

Questio empowers in-house legal teams and law firms to identify and eliminate non-responsive data early in the collection phase, significantly reducing the time, cost and risk associated with e-discovery. It also helps counsel better understand their data content in order to better plan their case strategy. UnitedLex CEO Daniel Reed and President Dave Deppe, along with other Questio experts, will be available to demonstrate the new managed service and discuss its many benefits and several recent case studies at Booth # 2018.

In addition, UnitedLex will be hosting two informative panel discussions on e-discovery and cyber security, staffed and moderated by noted industry experts, on Thursday, February 6 at LegalTech. The two panels include:

  • Transforming Discovery Through the Optimization of Legal Intelligence (10:30 - 11:45 AM)
    Accurately identifying potentially relevant documents in discovery is often described as finding needles in a haystack. By combining technology and analytical expertise, it is now possible to gather early stage legal intelligence to develop case strategy and efficiently zero-in on the needles in mountains of hay. The panel will be moderated by Dave Deppe, President of UnitedLex, and include insights from:
    • Jack Halprin, Head of eDiscovery, Enterprise of Google
    • Farrah Pepper, Executive Counsel - Discovery of General Electric
    • Christine Hasiotis, Senior Counsel & GE Legal Support Solutions Leader of Electric Insurance Company

  • Risk-Based Approach to Cyber Security Threats (12:15 - 1:30 PM)
    There is no shortage of cyber threats keeping those responsible for safeguarding valuable business and personal data awake at night. Explore a best practices approach to define true cyber risk, design a cost-effective holistic security program and, most importantly, be prepared for the inevitable data compromise incident when it occurs. The panel will be moderated by Jason Straight, Senior Vice President & Chief Privacy Officer of UnitedLex, and include insights from:
