I qualified as a solicitor in 1980 and have been a legal IT consultant specialising in litigation support and e-disclosure since 1993. My main activity is the e-Disclosure Information Project

News and information about my work with lawyers, principally the e-Disclosure Information Project and other matters relating to electronic disclosure

The E-Disclosure Information Project

The aim of the Project is to bring together litigation practitioners, their corporate clients, judges and suppliers with a common interest in improving the management of electronic documents in litigation.

The e-Disclosure Information Project is sponsored by the companies whose logos appear on this site.

The main information vehicle for the Project is my blog which is updated frequently with news and views on e-disclosure topics.

There are several conferences on E-Disclosure this year. I have put up a list of them. Everyone expecting to have to deal with e-Disclosure should go to at least one of them.

E-Disclosure Training

I give training for law firm and corporate clients, varied according to their needs. It covers not just the CPR, but also the sources of electronic information, the required discussions and agreements with other parties, tactical points, and the tools and services available to handle, or to help you handle, all aspects of e-disclosure.
