The survey, undertaken by legal technology provider Epiq Systems, found that major companies across Europe broadly agreed with law firms in the region, with 75 and 92 per cent respectively saying that they expect an increase in the use of technology assisted review.

Efficient strategies

Greg Wildisen, international managing director of Epiq Systems commented: ‘As data volumes continue to increase, it is crucial that law firms and companies implement proportionate and efficient strategies in preparation for litigation and regulatory investigations.
‘Failure to be adequately prepared can further increase the expense of the e-disclosure process, and lead to inefficient and ineffective responses to legal requests.’
