My eHearings experience includes planning and delivering virtual, hybrid and in-person hearings in courtrooms and event venues. I assist with witness scheduling and onboarding, electronic court books and bundle updates, exhibit control, transcript coordination and audiovisual infrastructure.

Amber's Top Three Tips for eDiscovery Clients

1. Keep communication open throughout the matter: Clear communication helps your eDiscovery provider understand the particular needs, priorities and objectives of each matter. Regular updates about progress, deadlines and changing requirements help keep the process efficient and responsive.  

2. Choose the right technology early: Engaging your eDiscovery provider at the outset helps identify the technology and workflows best suited to your matter, including where AI can add value. AI should be selected with the confidentiality, integrity and defensibility requirements of the matter in mind, as general purpose tools may not provide the security, transparency or control required. Early planning can also reduce data volumes, streamline review and avoid unnecessary costs.

3. Plan beyond disclosure: Decisions made during collection, review and disclosure determine how effectively evidence can be used later in the matter. A structured approach from the outset simplifies disclosure, streamlines trial preparation and makes it easier to create electronic bundles, prepare witness and exhibit materials, and present evidence confidently throughout proceedings.
