Press Release – ATLANTA (October 25, 2017) – Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton announced today that the firm’s LitSmart® E-Discovery Team has been named a finalist for the Relativity Innovation Award for Best Law Firm Solution, for the third year in a row.  

Kilpatrick Townsend’s LitSmart® E-Discovery Team achieved this distinction for their development of the LitSmart® Exhibit Sticker to reduce last-minute scrambles to manually apply exhibit stickers. Fully integrated with Relativity, the application enables users to add exhibit stickers—tailored to the case and court—with the click of a button. This not only reduces time and money spent, but also reduces the risk of error.

“We are excited to once again be recognized among the nation’s e-discovery elite as a finalist for the Relativity Innovation Award for Best Law Firm Solution,” said Craig Cannon, LitSmart® E-Discovery Team Leader. “This is a prestigious and coveted honor, and a true testament to Kilpatrick Townsend’s commitment to client service and innovation.”

Relativity recognized finalists and announced winners during a special ceremony at Relativity Fest, the annual e-discovery conference held October 22-25 in Chicago. This year, Relativity Fest brought nearly 2,000 attendees from around the world together for a three-day event featuring engaging panel discussions, hands-on labs, breakout sessions, and insights from both Relativity team members and end users. Kevin Duncan, a Senior Project Manager on the LitSmart® E-Discovery Team,  presented the LitSmart® Exhibit Sticker to all Relativity Fest attendees during the final day of events.

The Relativity Innovation Awards is an annual competition celebrating organizations that use Relativity in creative ways, solving difficult or unique challenges within and outside of e-discovery. Judges selected solutions that use various application integration points to display an extensive use of Relativity’s APIs to streamline processes, solve complex workflow needs, and create an altogether new solution that positively impacts business strategy.

  • When The Timing of Your Spoliation Motion Can Be As Important As Its Substance

    A motion for an adverse inference was denied in Pratt v. Robbins, et al. where Defendants failed to preserve or produce a video that might have contained pivotal evidence going to the heart Plaintiff’s civil rights claim for excessive force.  Plaintiff argued that Defendants spoliated evidence by failing to produce the video footage that may have recorded the use of force at issue.   A party seeking spoliation sanctions bears the burden of proving all of the elements of Rule 37(e), and under Fourth Circuit precedent is generally held to a clear and convincing standard. Plaintiff’s decision to suddenly cry foul on the eve of trial did not go over well with the Court.

    The trend of class action cases alleging wiretap statute violations against website operators for the use of session replay software to collect information of website users continues to be a concern for companies in 2024.  While many of these cases have turned on whether website operators disclosed and obtained consent from website users prior to deploying any session replay software, a recent decision in a pending class action brought under the Pennsylvania Wiretap Act indicates that consent alone may not be the end of the story in these cases.

The proceeding may be a large-scale medical malpractice lawsuit, a patent infringement case, a government investigation, or countless other legal actions. However, the skills and resources used in those types of matters can also be used in other areas.
