Black Letter To Lead Doc Review Workshop at 3rd e-Discovery for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device Industries

"Taming the Document Review Monster: Managing Productivity Leads to Cost Savings"

San Francisco, CA — August 13, 2008 — Black Letter Discovery (BLD), a premier document review solutions provider, announced today that Geoff Wilcox, VP of Discovery Operations will lead a workshop at the 3rd e-Discovery for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device Industries in Philadelphia, PA on September 8, 2008.

The workshop title is "Taming the Document Review Monster: Managing Productivity Leads to Cost Savings." BLD is assembling a panel of experts for the workshop who will reveal tried and true strategies to optimize the document review process, maximize productivity, reduce costs and build powerful litigation databases in pharma, biotech and medical device cases.

"It's an honor to be leading this workshop," said Geoff Wilcox. "Altman Weil tells us that cost control is now the top long range concern of Chief Legal Officers. With doc review costs estimated at 50-90% of litigation spending, the battle to control costs will be won or lost here. This is especially true for pharma, biotech and medical device litigation. It's document intensive, the scientific documents present special challenges for the review team, and it's one of our specialties. Experience tells us that we can maximize productivity and minimize costs in these matters by choosing a review location wisely, staffing well, training well, leading well and following a consistent process. We're looking forward to this opportunity to exchange ideas with the leaders in the field of e-discovery."

The 3rd e-Discovery for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device Industries will take place in Philadelphia, PA from September 8, 2008 through September 10, 2008. This annual event is sponsored by Legal IQ -- a division of IQPC -- and brings together e-discovery thought-leaders in pharma, biotech and medical device litigation from around the country.
