  • Establish and oversee project-level quality assurance procedures for data processing, review workflows, and productions.
  • Perform or coordinate production quality control, including checks of production scope, redactions, privilege exclusions, metadata, load files, and output specifications; resolve discrepancies and obtain required approvals before release.
  • Monitor technical deliverables for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with established requirements.
  • Identify operational, technical, scheduling, and resource risks and implement appropriate mitigation measures within established authority.
  • Escalate significant issues affecting discovery obligations, project scope, costs, or case strategy to appropriate stakeholders and maintain documentation supporting defensible discovery practices.
  • Serve as the primary operational point of contact for assigned eDiscovery projects and lead appropriate kickoff and status meetings.
  • Communicate project status, milestones, risks, budget considerations, and technical requirements to attorneys and case teams.
  • Coordinate with Staff Attorneys and case teams regarding document review workflows, batching plans, reviewer guidance, review protocols, privilege-review quality checks, privilege-log preparation, and progress reporting under attorney direction.
  • Translate technical information into practical recommendations that support informed case-team decisions.
  • Facilitate communication and accountability among internal personnel, external vendors, and other project stakeholders.
  • Coordinate related litigation data projects, including Plaintiff Fact Sheet tracking, deficiency monitoring, reporting, and case or transcript management, as assigned.
  • Coordinate approved matter closeout, archival, and data disposition activities.
  • Identify opportunities to improve discovery workflows, project management practices, and operational efficiency.
