Show Notes

Lately, legal tech news has been flooded with a number of ediscovery mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Just to name a few:

  • Epiq purchased by DTI investors
  • Clearwell acquired by Symantec
  • Equivio acquired by Microsoft
  • Content Analyst acquired by kCura
  • Recommind by OpenText
  • RAVN by iManage
  • Lighthouse and Discovia

In this ILTA Radio episode, we interview a panel of ILTA members from law firms and legal departments who share their insights, lessons learned and best practices for dealing with ediscovery M&A. We cover cases where one service provider is acquired by another provider and product acquisitions where a core application is acquired by another enterprise software provider, a product is acquired and remains available and when the product is abandoned.
