Extract from Mike Hamilton's article "The Continuing Trend of Moving E-Discovery Operations In-House"
Perhaps one of the more understated statistics from Exterro’s 2019 In-House Benchmarking Report pertains to the growth of internal e-discovery teams. Over the last five years that we’ve been surveying legal professionals, we’ve seen a mostly steady climb in both the number of e-discovery teams established within corporate legal departments and the size of those teams. This year’s survey indicated that 50% of in-house legal departments now have an on-site e-discovery team.
Considering e-discovery is now an estimated $10 to $17 billion industry, this may not be all that surprising. But the more dramatic proliferation has been with IT assisting in e-discovery operations.
I wanted a certification that separates me from my peers. Upon discovering CEDS, I was convinced this was exactly the type of distinction I had been seeking. Since achieving CEDS certification, I’ve noticed immediate recognition from my organization, colleagues, and current and prospective clients.They acknowledge they are more comfortable working with a person who has taken time to seek such certification. CEDS has certainly been worth the small investment and should continue to beget returns for years and years to come.

I get bombarded with all kinds of e-discovery stuff – news, blogs and whatnot. Let me tell you, you guys send the absolute best! I send it to all my partners and sales folks. I said, who are these guys? I have to get to know them better!
