Gibbons Selects Inference Data for Electronic Discovery Analytics & Review

Firm extends leadership in deploying technology to more effectively manage electronic
discovery process and costs

New York, NY (June 4, 2007) – Inference Data today announced that Gibbons P.C., a leading law firm in the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia metropolitan regions, has selected Inference as its electronic discovery analytics and review provider. The firm, which has extensive litigation, corporate, product, employment, and criminal defense practices, will look to Inference’s web-based platform to analyze electronic documents and communications in large-scale litigation and to streamline the review process through categorization and prioritization of electronically stored information (ESI).

“Gibbons is actively taking a leadership role in applying tools and methodologies that will accelerate the review process and help our attorneys identify key documents quickly,” said Mark Sidoti, Esq., Chair of the Gibbons E-Discovery Task Force. “We evaluated many of the analytical tools on the market and selected Inference as the best technology to address the needs of the firm and our clients.”

The massive proliferation of electronically generated documents and communications, coupled with U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandates for electronic discovery are driving rapid change and the deployment of new technologies in the legal profession. New meet-and-confer rules and production deadlines necessitate knowledge of what an organization’s data contains and the ability to find relevant documents quickly. Gibbons is meeting the challenges of the new mandates and providing an advantage for its clients by using Inference to add speed and precision to the review process. Using Inference, Gibbons attorneys will be able to search through an unlimited amount of client data using keywords and concepts and then group and prioritize the data for review.

“Gibbons established its E-Discovery Task Force to help clients navigate the everchanging world of electronic data,” said Patrick C. Dunican, Jr., Managing Director of Gibbons. “The selection of Inference Data to assist in this is the next step in providing the best E-Discovery counseling and assistance to our clients.”

According to Inference CEO Lou Andreozzi, ”We are very proud to have been selected by a recognized leader in litigation and electronic discovery practices. Inference will deliver a substantial benefit to Gibbons and its clients.”
