The exponential growth of the use of electronic tools to create and store information has changed how litigation is conducted.
Emails have largely replaced unrecorded telephone calls. Consequently, electronic information is stored in volumes not previously experienced with paper documents. This creates unprecedented problems for organizations prior to and during litigation. As a result, many businesses have found themselves unprepared to deal with the discovery process when vast volumes of electronic information are involved. Some law firms have also recognized the benefit to their clients of contracting out the responsibility of managing this aspect of litigation.
Wortzman Nickle is the first law firm in Canada formed to address the gap which presently exists in Canada between corporations and traditional law firms that engage in litigation. Wortzman Nickle advises Canadian corporations, government organizations, and their legal counsel on all aspects of e-discovery and litigation management. Our firm advises its clients how to develop proactive electronic records management policies and we audit current practices. Wortzman Nickle is the go-to law firm in Canada, assisting corporations and their counsel to find practical ways to meet their e-discovery obligations.
