Electronic Discovery Symposium for Government Agencies

Benchmarking study and symposium brainstorming activity results

Deloitte has been proudly hosting the Electronic Discovery Symposium for Government Agencies for 10+ years. We bring together some of the most distinguished thought leaders in eDiscovery and the government sector. Our primary goal is to provide government practitioners with the information and tools needed during the eDiscovery litigation process in their current eDiscovery environment with an eye towards preparing for the future eDiscovery landscape.

2019 eDiscovery symposium results

During the course of the symposium, we take the pulse of federal eDiscovery practitioners with our annual Benchmarking study of electronic discovery practices for government agencies. We also host a brainstorming exercise where we discuss eDiscovery pain points and solutions in the federal space. This provides attendees a collaborative environment to share ideas, challenges, and solutions with each other.

The survey

For more than 10 years, Deloitte’s federal eDiscovery practice has surveyed attorneys, paralegals, records managers, and IT professionals within the federal government regarding their experience in eDiscovery. Over time, a picture has emerged of the challenges facing government agencies as well as the varied ways government agencies are managing their eDiscovery workloads.
Our 2019 survey results revealed agency counsel indicated they feel adequately supported by IT when it comes to dealing with opposing counsel on electronic discovery matters. As such, confidence swells when it comes to feeling adequately prepared to discuss eDiscovery with opposing counsel.
