Extract from George Socha’s article “eDiscovery Leaders Live: Ryan Tilot of Gunster”
Ryan Tilot, Of Counsel at Gunster, joins George Socha, Senior Vice President of Brand Awareness at Reveal, for ACEDS #eDiscoveryLeadersLive at the Georgetown Advanced eDiscovery Institute.
Ryan has over a decade of dedicated eDiscovery and information governance experience from both the litigation and consulting perspectives. He works to identify legally defensible, cost effective, and creative solutions for his clients. Ryan also uses his extensive technical background to inform his legal strategy and counsels on best practices based on his experience as a records manager and solutions architect in the legal industry. He writes and frequently speaks on eDiscovery strategy and technology. Ryan has served as eDiscovery counsel in state and nationwide employment class action litigations and has managed the preparation of electronically stored information (“ESI”) protocol in matters ranging from antitrust actions to products liability litigation.
Ryan discussed his recent move to Gunster as eDiscovery counsel, the group he works with there, why he made the move, and what he is looking forward. Ryan then talked about one of the bigger challenges facing eDiscovery today: dealing with content from collaboration platforms. He also talked about the opportunities those platforms and their content offer, from better ways to identify and collect data, to the more frank communications often found in that content. From there, Ryan turned to TAR, both how it helps merits counsel and issues posed by attempts to use TAR with newer data types.
