Susan Wortzman and Chuck Rothman were quoted in the Globe and Mail on November 26, 2013.

Wortzman commented: “We’re not a typical law firm, we’re a law firm going to conferences on technology, reading about technology, looking at demos of new products in our office. To meet the needs of our clients, we have to be absolutely on top of technology, all the time.”

​Rothman notes: “A lot of lawyers and people still look at social media as something people do privately, but … if there’s litigation, those are going to be relevant.”

Susan Wortzman was quoted in “Lawyers warming up to technology – assisted review”. Wortzman noted that: “The idea of adopting technology to reduce e-discovery costs is enticing. But beware. Before implementing any new technology, it is essential to understand how the technology works, how to use it, when to use it, and how to validate the results that you receive. Without those steps the technology may not yield the promised results”.

Technology Assisted Review (“TAR”) is the latest buzz in e-discovery circles. The development of
technology to assist with managing review, expediting review and reducing its costs varies from
predictive coding, concept-clustering and other analytics tools. Although the use of computer
software to assist with legal review is not new, some of the newer linguistic technologies are now
being applied to streamline the process.
