FTI Consulting expands Relativity support in Australia
The eDiscovery software and services market has developed in ways which few of us predicted. Three broad lines were, however, discernible a while back – that consolidation would reduce the number of players in the market, that the market would … Continue reading
Nuix Ringtail becomes Nuix Discover
Nearly a year has passed since Nuix acquired Ringtail from FTI. The development and marketing focus since then has, rightly, been on continuity and on expansion – continuity in the sense that development continued without a break, and expansion in … Continue reading

The Nuix Insider Conference 2019 – showing what a conference is for
What is the right format for discovery and legal technology conferences? The fashion is to criticise them, with their purpose, speakers, agendas, venue, room layout, and food all sneeringly dismissed because they don’t match some notional ideal – an ideal … Continue reading
Interview: JR Jenkins of Nuix on the success of the integration between Nuix and Ringtail
I have known JR Jenkins, now at Nuix with the rest of Ringtail, for many years. We have had long discussions over that time once or twice a year, talking not only about Ringtail but also about the developments in … Continue reading

Interview: Matthew Geaghan of Nuix on using total data intelligence for compliance and HR purposes
I have had several conversations over the years with Matthew Geaghan of Nuix about the cross-over between eDiscovery tools and skills and other areas beyond eDiscovery. I interviewed him again at Legaltech in New York and asked him where we … Continue reading

Interview: Nicola Harrison of Nuix on the benefits of Nuix’s Ringtail acquisition plus forthcoming Nuix webinars
The video interview has become my preferred form of output, giving the opportunity to learn at first hand from people engaged in different parts of the eDiscovery world. We do a lot of them, and it is great when, as here, … Continue reading

Interview: Stephen Stewart of Nuix talking about Ringtail, and a Ringtail demo
I have recorded around 50 interviews recently, and only now get the opportunity to go back through them. One advantage of the interviews which I did with Nuix is that Nuix did the filming and editing. Chatting to interesting people … Continue reading

Interview: Matthew Field of FTI Consulting on the growing use of technology-assisted review in the UK
Matthew Field is a Director at FTI Consulting in London. I interviewed him recently about the increase in the use of the technology which is known variously as technology-assisted review and predictive coding (and which I will call “TAR” for … Continue reading

Ringtail and much more at the Nuix User Exchange 2018
If the Nuix User Exchange at Huntington Beach in California last week was dominated by Nuix’s acquisition of Ringtail (I wrote about that here), that is hardly surprising. It was not, I think, the original plan – there was plenty … Continue reading
Nuix buys Ringtail eDiscovery software from FTI Consulting
“Consolidation” is the term used in the eDiscovery industry to refer to the series of acquisitions and mergers seen over the past few years. The usual reaction when one is announced is instant surprise (“I didn’t see that one coming”), … Continue reading

Partnership between FTI and Evolver brings Excel redaction to Ringtail
FTI and its long established eDiscovery platform Ringtail get more interesting all the time. Ringtail 9.4 brings a Software Development Kit, social networking enhancements, Mac compatible document review, customisable browse panels and a range of other developments which, when added … Continue reading
FTI – managing social media and audio along with emails and the rest
It gets ever harder to describe the functionality of eDiscovery software as data-types multiply and functions expand to manage them. The marketing teams understandably want to give prominence to new features, undiluted by the wider picture, but the result is … Continue reading

Taking Predictive Discovery out of the black box
Part of my role is to help those responsible for eDiscovery / eDisclosure to identify the products and services which they might consider when deciding on the “tools and techniques” (as the UK Practice Direction 31B puts it) to be … Continue reading
Notes from Hong Kong: Dinner with Richard Kershaw of FTI Technology
This is a continuation of a series of roughly chronological mini-posts following my recent visit to Hong Kong. I have reported elsewhere that I heard a rumour of a senior appointment at FTI’s Hong Kong office, and deduced that they … Continue reading
Australian ediscovery round-up
My conclusion after my recent visit to Sydney was that every jurisdiction which engages in ediscovery thinks that it is behind the others. This is certainly not true of Australia, and Master Whitaker and I were not merely being polite … Continue reading
Far and wide eDiscovery at the Chilli IQ conference in Sydney
Sometimes an unconscious theme develops during conferences. Appropriately, perhaps, given the “IQ” element in the organiser’s name, the point which recurred in Sydney was the use of human intelligence in parallel with the processing power and clever technology to get … Continue reading
E-Disclosure law, practice and technology in one educational package
The first of the E-disclosure seminars organised jointly by Professor Dominic Regan and me took place yesterday at Ely Place Chambers. Dominic and I were joined by Senior Master Whitaker and by speakers from three technology providers, 7Safe, Legal Inc … Continue reading
Structured data is neither as easy nor as difficult as it sounds
Lawyers tend to overlook structured data. If they think of it at all when giving disclosure, it goes into the box marked “too difficult to deal with”. A decision that it is disproportionate to handle it may be right, but … Continue reading
New web site for e.law Asia-Pacific
I can see why it has taken e.law some time to assemble their new website following the acquisition of CCH Workflow Solutions in November 2009. The integrated business now covers a very broad range of activities across a wide geographical … Continue reading
There is more to FTI Technology than Attenex and Ringtail
My self-imposed job description involves flitting between all the players in the electronic disclosure / electronic discovery world, picking up information and ideas from one place and dropping them in another. I talk to judges, lawyers and technology suppliers, read … Continue reading

How was ILTA for you?

Jackson Litigation Costs Review consultation ends
A few seconds before midnight on Friday, an e-mail arrived from Abigail Pilkington, the Clerk to the Review of Civil Litigation Costs. It was a bit eerie, really. The East Wing of the Royal Courts of Justice is a cavernous, … Continue reading

Australia at the centre of the discovery world
The default map of the world shows Britain in the middle and near the top, with Alaska at top left and New Zealand at bottom right. Perhaps that is because Europe invented the Greenwich Meridian; maybe it is a legacy … Continue reading
