The e-Disclosure Information Project
The e-Disclosure
Information Project collects and disseminates information about
electronic disclosure / electronic discovery in the context of court rules and procedures,
of regulatory requirements and for internal investigations. Although
originally aimed only at the UK, it quickly embraced the US and other
common law countries where disclosure / discovery of documents is
required. The Project is sponsored by the companies whose logos appear here. As well as the financial support, their sponsorship provides a pool of expertise and examples to draw on to illustrate what is involved in electronic disclosure.
The main outputs
from the Project are my blog, this web site and numerous public and in-house talks and
seminars. Electronic
disclosure stands at the
cross-roads of two technical subjects - the rules and the technology
solutions. It is also fundamental to the business practices of litigation
lawyers. I write and speak
about it in the UK and internationally, often in tandem with Senior Master Whitaker
and HHJ Simon Brown QC of the Birmingham Civil Justice Centre.I am a member of Senior Master Whitaker's Working Party, responsible for drafting the UK's new Edisclosure Practice Direction and Electronic Documents Questionnaire.
The initiative embraces everything from policy to practice development to the details of data exchange. It retains its roots in England & Wales whilst growing in influence in other common law jurisdictions whose rules require the exchange of documents.
Project Purposes
Reporting, influencing, educatingWriting on a broad range of e-disclosure topics
Speaking at public conferences or in private sessions
Objective discussions about technology applications
Input into policy and strategic thinking
Links with influencers in the US and other jurisdictions where discovery of documents is required
Helping to interpret and clarify messages between the players in the litigation support arena
In addition to the display of their logo on this web site and my blog,
the sponsors of the e-Disclosure Information Project
get a white paper about their products and services. I also turn out
with them at public or private events in the UK or elsewhere as they
reasonably request to talk about the legal and practical context which
is their marketplace.

Regulatory activity and the demands of US courts and authorities require EU companies to apply discovery principles and practices.
