• Coordinate with clients, custodians, IT professionals, and outside vendors to identify, preserve, collect, process, and manage electronically stored information while maintaining accurate chain of custody and project records.
• Manage eDiscovery workflows within review platforms, including workspace setup, data uploads, batching strategies, analytics tools, user permissions, quality control, rolling productions, privilege log support, and troubleshooting for attorneys, paralegals, and review teams.
• Oversee discovery-related timelines, deliverables, and vendor coordination across multiple matters, while helping monitor budgets, identify workflow efficiencies, and promote best practices in eDiscovery processes across the firm.
• Train attorneys, paralegals, and internal staff on eDiscovery tools, workflows, and best practices, while helping develop internal templates, guides, checklists, and standardized procedures to improve consistency and efficiency.

Qualifications:

• 3 years of eDiscovery, litigation support, or legal technology experience within a law firm or legal services environment.
• Experience managing eDiscovery matters from collection through production, including large data sets, multi-custodian projects, and coordination with attorneys, clients, and vendors.

• Strong communication, organization, and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a collaborative, client-service-oriented environment.
• CEDS, RCA, or other relevant eDiscovery certifications strongly preferred.

This position may be filled at either the paralegal or attorney level, with compensation structured accordingly based on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and level of practice.
