logik ( e - discovery company )
columbus e - discovery roundtable breakfast (fri. jan. 20) – “designing an effective e - discovery workflow”
then there were the “e - discovery gobblers” that continue to exemplify the spate of mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation in the e - discovery marketplace .
i’ve written about e - discovery project management for technolawyer and that article is available here .
about logik: logik is an ediscovery processing company located in washington, dc. logik helps corporations, law firms, government agencies and service providers simplify electronic data sought in discovery requests. logik' s innovative and highly distributed processing platform, gridlogik, was developed to process all kinds of unstructured and structured data sets such as email databases, spreadsheets, images and ms office documents. combined with their transparent pricing model, logik offers customers the smart way to discover accurate results and make sense of processing costs. find out more at logik. com .
many people may claim not to have heard of e - discovery, but in fact, e - discovery has played a starring role in many of the most famous legal battles of the past few decades .
at our core logik is a document management company focused on developing user friendly software for legal professionals. specifically ediscovery software .
media interested in setting up an interview with a representative from logik should email press (at) logik (dot) com or call 800 - 951 - 5507 .
most discovery still comes in the form of testimony or recorded interrogations. discovery can also involve physical items, like medical exams or a defective product. but increasingly, discovery is focused on electronically stored information (esi), which is why lawyers often use the term e - discovery to distinguish the discovery of electronic records from other forms of discovery .
are you the founder? tell us a little bit about the premise of logik .
the purpose of this guide is to describe the fundamentals of e - discovery. if you are involved in modern litigation or investigations, you will almost certainly encounter e - discovery. however, we should note that while the legal profession now recognizes e - discovery as a distinct practice area, the word is really an artificial construct .
details are posted on the e - discovery beat blog from exterro and you can also click the registration link .
we left that company in 2004 to start logik systems, which we shortened to just logik a few years after launch. our business model was simple: no printing—keep everything electronic / digital and charge a flat per - gigabyte price (

sheng and i didn' t start logikcull in 2004. we started logik systems, inc. —
lawyers have known for almost 30 years that digital documents—especially e - mail—are a key to winning many types of cases. e - discovery is the art and science of collecting, preserving, reviewing, and presenting digital evidence for litigation. though it may seem like an exotic practice area, e - discovery has a long and important history .
logik systems, inc. was created to make the process of ediscovery more efficient and less paper - based
built logik into an inc 200 company in 5 years. then spent the next 3 years building urltoken to automate most of what we did during the previous 5 years .
i regard tom as one of the most informed folks on state e - discovery rules, and regularly provides updates on the topic such as this one from september 9, 2010. i depended heavily on tom’s research when i wrote my article “ mining e - discovery stateside ” for urltoken .
there is nothing whatsoever wrong with any of these shifts in the marketplace. i see it as simply the e - discovery industry growing and evolving .
e - discovery is really just another way to describe discovery, the process of obtaining and exchanging evidence, or information that might potentially become evidence, in litigation. but as the world has moved almost exclusively to electronic communications, some legal professionals began adding the “e” to make it clear that electronic records were now involved. so at a basic level, e - discovery describes the process of discovery, updated to address the challenges and complications of collecting, reviewing, and producing evidence in the modern, digital world .
super fluper cool to see a company be successful without vc help. you, 37 and logik, are an inspiration to me, and here is plain matter of fact – urltoken
this is a great example for all people trying to start a company. i like the culture logik have developed around their company, it shows that they trust their employees and i am sure that has a lot to do with their success .
blackstone discovery is logikcull' s # 2 rival. blackstone discovery' s headquarters is in palo alto, california, and was founded in 2003. like logikcull, blackstone discovery also competes in the application software space. blackstone discovery generates 106% of logikcull' s revenue .

e - discovery again played a starring role in the 1998 microsoft monopoly trial. in that case, bill gates became whiny, insolent, and defensive on the stand as his own e - mails were read back to him. in these e - mails, recovered from microsoft' s email servers, bill gates asked his subordinates to think of creative ways to sabotage the company' s rivals .
indeed great idea for those posts. is it me or 37 logo and logik’s on have very similar elements? : )
as a nifty bonus, every attendee will receive a free copy of the recent page vault report “ e - discovery trends 2017: web content collection. ”
tom allman will be giving his fourth annual fios webcast on the state of the states’ adoption of e - discovery rules on thursday, december 9, 2010 .
once again, grimm made his mark in e - discovery in this wage - and - hour case brought by several mayflower employees. grimm held that the failure of opposing counsel to cooperate and work out disputes on their own was the biggest reason why e - discovery costs were skyrocketing. he strongly advised counsel from both sides to work together and make the e - discovery phase move more smoothly. the parties settled in november 2009. many judges have followed grimm by advising attorneys before them to cooperate and hold regular conferences before even setting foot into court. the proposed e - discovery amendments to the federal rules of civil procedure also contain a duty to cooperate .
as you move through this book, there will be some terminology that is specific to the e - discovery practice. here are some of the essential terms to know :
xact data discovery acquired c: dox, orange legal technologies, and most recently f1 discovery over the last 3 years and they seemed poised for continued growth .

here are some notes and observations from this year. as usual, the overriding topics circled around e - discovery but i found some interesting items in the cracks of the midtown hilton .
i highly recommend registering for tom’s fios webinar on december 9, 2010, and make it a point to learn more about how e - discovery rules are being adopted by the states .
first, no corporation that i’ve worked with in the last few years involved in e - discovery has unlimited financial resources. true the legal department may enjoy a little more latitude in spending than other departments because of the pressures of corporate litigation, but unfortunately, a lot of that money is not spent on thorough, carefully considered e - discovery tools or scrutinized workflows .
brett burney will be participating in an e - discovery roundtable breakfast on friday, january 20, 2012 in columbus, oh. brett will be joining geoff wilcox of black letter discovery, marc fulkert of jones day, and joe grespin of techlaw solutions. details below :
before logikcull was a tech start - up, it was a highly profitable company called logik that helped law firms with discovery. and by highly profitable, i mean $ 3 million a year in profit from 2004 - 2009 with just seven employees. but, when the recession hit and business began to dry up, wilson and yang pivoted and began investing company cash to build logikcull .
thanks for the article. i don’t know much about the legal industry, but i propose dropping the “e” and just calling it discovery. it seems like this is the way discovery should be done. if anything deserves an awkward spelling it’s the old tree - churning way: )
brett burney will be participating in a webcast sponsored by exterro entitled “ advances in e - discovery project management ” on tuesday, march 19 at 1: 00pm est / 10: 00am pst .
the topic is a popular one these days. many legal professionals “manage” projects everyday, but the intricacies of e - discovery require that we adopt traits found in the technical discipine of project management .
attenex opened up new ideas for how legal professionals could attack a large collection of documents in different ways than a linear list. we affectionally called the attenex interface the “petri dish” of e - discovery .

this chapter describes and defines electronic discovery, or “e - discovery, ” for anyone involved in the processes of litigation or investigations. it should provide an introduction and overview of the basic concepts and terms you will need to begin any conversation around the practice of electronic discovery. following chapters will dive into more nuanced and specific issues within the process of managing electronic evidence in litigation .

understanding e - discovery begins with understanding the federal rules of civil procedure. don' t worry - we' re not going to make you take a civil procedure class. however, it is important to understand that the federal rules of civil procedure describe and define the discovery of electronic information. in fact, the rules have been updated twice already to address the specific concerns of electronic discovery .
but this year, i had the pleasure of meeting e - discovery luminary skip walter who just recently joined fti. mr. walter was the founding ceo of attenex which really originated visual analytics for document review .
compared to this old school process, andy’s new technology saved time, kept data more secure and opened up new use cases beyond e - discovery. customers would be able to speed up the e - discovery process so it takes minutes or hours rather than weeks, cutting manual labor and associated costs. in other words, the product did a lot more than legacy systems, and he wanted to capture the additional value .

i’ve witnessed the same scenario in corporate environments concerning e - discovery that winkler describes in the first few paragraphs such as “information security staff traditionally look at their role in the e - discoery process as ensuring the integrity of the data…” and “many people are intimidated by their organization’s lawyers – they just want to follow orders and gather the data. ”
for example, in just about every corporation that i’ve worked with involving e - discovery, the it professionals have an extensive and thorough handle on e - mail. but when it comes to managing individual documents and files (word, pdf, excel, ppt, etc .) i have yet to find a secure, relevant and professional structure around the management of those documents. corporations rarely use any kind of document management system or if they do, it’s poorly implemented, and often circumvented to the point of uselessness. that certainly doesn’t help the process of e - discovery .
information governance is a more recent addition to the edrm. in recent year, large organizations have begun looking for ways to reduce e - discovery costs before litigation happens, which means managing esi from its initial creation through its final disposition .

at that point, discovery was done by literally printing out every potentially relevant email for attorneys to sift through .
perhaps the most sweeping change was to frcp 26 (b) (1) regarding proportionality and the scope of discovery. rule 26 (b) (1) was rewritten to limit discovery to that which is “proportional to the needs of the case” and provided five factors for courts to consider. this amendment redefined the scope of discovery so that parties must address concerns about whether the amount of discovery is reasonably necessary to resolve the case fairly .
logik started out as a desire to do something better ,
says andy wilson, co - founder and ceo at logik .
we worked for a long time in the ediscovery industry, watching the large vendors shuffle along, and we saw the mind - boggling inefficiencies. we saw insanely high rates. we saw a better way and we took a chance on it .
what’s your goal with the company? not too long ago i was a naive entrepreneur thinking that one day i would eventually sell our company for an absurd amount of money, making everyone in the company rich. but i realized that 1. although a huge cash payout would be nice it would have to be for the right reasons and 2. if we are building a successful, profitable and fun company, why sell? so, my goal is to continue building a successful, profitable and fun company. if we ever decide to sell our business it will be for the right reasons and with the right company .

“we don’t work with just any customer, because some customers can negatively affect your company culture with theirs. ”
the ediscovery world is consolidating at a rapid pace. may alone saw morae legal merge with clutch group, xact data discovery acquired by f1 discovery, discovia merge with lighthouse ediscovery, and altep bought up by advanced discovery. that’s four notable ediscovery m & as in just a few weeks—and that’s just the most recent history. a database of ediscovery deals put together by
of course, this case is an extreme example, but e - discovery is a fact in matters of all sizes. in fact, digital evidence is playing an increasingly important role in even family law and criminal cases. as we all live increasingly digital lives, we are all leaving a daily trail of electronic evidence that often tracks our every move. and it is all available for discovery .
i vividly remember when the attenex platform came across my desk. i opened the amlaw tech supplement in 2003 and got enraptured in the cover story on skip walter and then law firm preston gates & ellis on how they were working with this new fangled concept called e - discovery .
in 2005, two consultants, george socha and tom gelbmann created the electronic discovery reference model. the name is clunky, and the model is by no means perfect, but it is the best and most commonly accepted description of the e - discovery process. not all litigation will follow all of the steps described (and new steps have been added over the years), but it remains a useful guide .
the only problem was that every time i got to the booth i’d get interrupted by other potential corporate customers coming to ask questions. that lead to some great conversations, but i’ve got to find another avenue to get some really deep technical answers to e - discovery in office 365 .
happy birthday logik systems, inc. thank you for helping us realize our true mission and vision with logikcull. may you rest in peace. and thank you to everyone for helping to make this dream become a reality .
for litigation discovery, internal investigations, arbitrations, mergers and acquisitions, information governance, and intelligent document archiving to name a few .
winkler comments on how he has witnessed companies “try to image the data so that you cannot search the data with text based tools. there seems to be an attitude that if we can’t find the data, they can’t either. ” and while i agree with winkler that this is still unfortunately the attitude of many lawyers today, it’s not because the lawyers are arrogant, it’s because lawyers freely admit that they have no idea how an e - mail archiving system works (or even if the company has one), don’t know how their company’s network share drives are set up, have no clue about the company’s backup procedures, and couldn’t tell you what e - mail system they’re using .

one of the most important questions in e - discovery today is how to properly and comprehensively collect web content and social media evidence. like e - mail, social media is one of the richest sources of relevant information about any litigation matter but many lawyers don’t understand how to properly collect it. we resort to old - school tools like the “print screen” button, or “print to pdf, ” but those tools are inadequate at collecting all the metadata and source information baked into the web .
logik began in the dining room of andy wilson' s apartment as a simple, straight - forward idea. provide a faster, more accurate and more budget - friendly way to process ediscovery data. the hard part was inventing the technology .
now obviously, “content” is practically what it deals with at every level, seeing as they manage “information. ” but it doesn’t fret about e - mail messages or documents from the standpoint of what they contain – they are much more concerned about how and where the data is stored (e. g. e - mail sub - folders & archives, network shares, what directories can they exclude out of a backup, etc .) legal cares about the content of data first and then concerns themselves with where it can be located .
i’m thrilled to be presenting a webinar hosted by encore discovery solutions tomorrow (friday, june 11, 2010) entitled “ ediscovery project management. ”

andy and his co - founder sheng yang set out to rebuild logik from the bottom up, leveraging automation and software to streamline the process of managing digital information so companies could do it themselves without needing an expensive third - party vendor. andy counted 2, 500 steps that were required to fulfill a client request as a services business. his goal was to cut that down to three steps or less with their saas offering. this would make it fast and easy for corporate legal teams, law firms and investigators to organize, search through and review a lot of unstructured data, a process they refer to as e - discovery .

as andy built a longer and longer list of use cases beyond traditional e - discovery, he started training the sales and account teams to accelerate product adoption within existing accounts by expanding the number of use cases. more use cases meant more users would want access to logikcull and more data would be brought into the software, giving andy two separate levers to upsell customers. in one example, andy sold a corporate legal team on the traditional e - discovery use case and expanded to six departments afterward. “we just said ‘hey, could you introduce us to the tax team? we talked with customer x and they have this problem, and apparently logikcull is really good for that issue. ’ before you know it, it starts working its way up. ”

don' t let opposing counsel or judges impose a set pattern on the process. just because one approach has worked for them in the past, doesn' t mean it' s always the right way to proceed. in addition, don' t let the other party' s timeline get in the way of what you need to do. the rules clearly state that, “methods of discovery may be used in any sequence, “ and “discovery by one party does not require any other party to delay its discovery. ”

some observers, even those associated with traditional software, have portended a similar evolution from on - premise to cloud to specialized cloud in the area of e - discovery, where, to paraphrase pombriant, good terminology is also corrupted to the point it becomes useless. other parallels between crm and legal technology applications abound - - and consuming the q & a with that context makes for a worthwhile thought experiment .

late night after late night we had munchies and soda readily available. while the sugar fueled the work, it was the desire to start something new, interesting and compelling that drove us on day after day. the high ranking by inc. magazine is a really nice compliment to the technologies we' ve developed to help fill the gap in the industry. what it tells us is that our customers see the value in what logik offers. and that' s the best compliment there is .
but one little tiny note i did catch is how each of these powerhouses are reacting to relativityone – which seemed to be an annoying, murmuring elephant in the room with a lot of e - discovery service providers. while folks from these larger service providers above were excited about the prospects of relativityone, most of the smaller, regional service providers were still fuming at the prospect of kcura undercutting their business models .
as significant as the amendments were to the federal rules of civil procedure, i believe it’s even more important at the state level, although many folks overlook them. in fact, i’ve had litigators tell me they don’t have to worry about that “e - discovery stuff” because their case isn’t in federal court, even thought they’re sitting in a state that has adopted the frcp amendments almost word - for - word .

the old rule 26 (b) (2) (c) (iii) was clear that a court could limit discovery when the burden outweighed benefit. however, new rule 26 (b) (1), implemented by the december 1, 2015 amendments, takes the factors in these old requirements and puts them at the heart of any discussion about the scope of discovery .
ldiscovery probably did more to mess with the heads of us e - discovery industry nerds with their new re - branding smushed together logo with krolldiscovery. i remember kroll’s reinventions through the years with marsh & mclennan, and altegrity, but now this is just a little weird. not to mention that ldiscovery has been on an absolute tear over the years with acquiring or merging with alphalit, renewdata, turnstone solutions, credence corporation and more .

another important fact to understand is that the the united states has a long tradition of broad discovery, which allows litigants to request a wide range of information and document types for almost any matter. attorneys in other countries are likely shocked and horrified at the amount of information discoverable in u. s. courts, as many countries have much more restrictive rules and regulations regarding the discovery of personal or private information .
