(Adapted from CEO Kate Clark’s speech at International Women’s Day launch in March 2023)
Over the last 12 months I have been thinking a lot about the company we launched more than six years ago as Enhanced Litigation Management Solutions.
ELMS had evolved into an award-winning boutique eDiscovery provider based in Brisbane but with clients across Australia and internationally.
It had been more successful than we ever imagined thanks to the wonderful and loyal client base we built, and the supporters from many, many different places who have helped us grow and thrive.
It was everything I had hoped it would be, and I knew it was time to move to the next iteration of our company.
Maybe this was driven by six years of having to say Enhanced Litigation Management Solutions and then having to explain what the company did. Maybe it was the recognition that having the word “eDiscovery” in our name would help immensely.
But to me it felt like we had outgrown ELMS. With a new and better team, and the prospect of launching new and exciting technology in 2023, I knew instinctively it was time for the next evolution.
Late last year we sat down as a team to decide what we wanted to be in the future and realised it was time to stand up and own who we are and what we want to be.
Those ongoing discussions launched eDiscovery Collab at our #IWD2023 event on Thursday 9th March 2023.
eDiscovery is self-explanatory and the centre of everything for us.
Collab describes the role our team plays – the link connecting law, technology and people.
Every day we help our clients utilise law and technology to solve their problems.
eDiscovery Collab is the place where litigation and technology make sense.
It also became clear very quickly what we do and don’t want eDiscovery Collab to be.
We realised we don’t want eDiscovery Collab to be the biggest provider in the market, but it has to be the best.
As eDiscovery Collab, our team will strive to be the very best solution provider in the Australian legal market and distinguish ourselves from other providers by:
- Delivering the best and most innovative solutions for our clients
- Being the best team to work with – the most efficient and friendliest people you will work with any day of the week
- Bringing the most cost-effective tech tools and platforms to our clients each and every time throughout their litigation journey.
If you can’t say your eDiscovery provider is the best, why not give us a go? Our track record as Enhanced Litigation Management Solutions speaks for itself.
And as eDiscovery Collab we are going to get even better from here.
