Inference Data to Host Live Webinar
"Transforming the Law Firm"

New York, NY (October 13, 2008) –Inference Data President Nicholas Croce will host a live webinar on Wednesday, October 15 to discuss how electronic discovery costs and risks are driving a fundamental shift in law firm business practices. The hour-long discussion will be an in-depth examination of the changing relationship between corporations and their outside counsel, and how firms can meet both the technical and structural challenges being driven by electronic discovery. The free webinar,  “Transforming The Law Firm: Electronic Discovery & The Business of Law,”  will be broadcast live on October 15 at 1pm Eastern Time. To register, www.inferencedata.com/webinar.html.

"The legal market has experienced an unprecedented change as a result of advances in electronic discovery and associated rulings,”  says Croce, who has dedicated the last 15 years of his career to developing advanced electronic discovery technologies.   “Corporations are no longer willing to tolerate mounting discovery costs, or accept the risks associated with the tremendous volume of data produced every day. As a result, law firms are forced to deal with issues including how much to invest in technology, technical expertise required and balancing a fundamental shift in client relationships.” 

Mr. Croce will address these issues in the live webinar. Key topics of discussion include:

• How corporations are driving change within law firms
• Corporate DNA vs. Law Firm DNA
• EDD strategies - in house vs. outsourcing
• Technology and electronic discovery best practices to leverage and improve client relationships

In addition to the webinar, Nick Croce will expand on this topic with Cathleen Peterson, Counsel at Wilmer Hale, at The Masters Conference in Washington, DC later this week. The session,  “Transforming the Law Firm: Using Electronic Discovery & Technology as a Business Tool,”  will be held on Friday, October 17 at 10:30 am in the Ronald Regan Building & International Trade Center.
