EVIDENCE EXCHANGE CO-FOUNDERS DRAFT NEW ARTICLE FOR ABA LITIGATION SECTION WEBSITE ON THE IMPACT OF THE NEW E-DISCOVERY AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
( New York, NY ) - January 3, 2007
Michael Prounis and Myron Eagle, the CoFounders of Evidence Exchange were asked to prepare an article for the ABA Litigation Section Website on the impact of the new E-Discovery Amendments on the practice of law. Drawing upon over 20 years of E-Discovery experience, the authors share their observations on the “New World Order”, including the importance of preservation, process and case management. They further note how time compressed the whole process has become, with procedural things that used to take months to resolve taking center stage in the first few weeks of a matter. The article also includes such topics as the new approach to pre-discovery meetings; the debate on "form" of production of electronic evidence; "inaccessible evidence;" preservation of evidence when routine processes may destroy it; the "safe harbor," and privilege waiver issues.

Evidence Exchange has been at the forefront of legal document processing since its inception in 1996 and has developed many of the tools and techniques now accepted as standards in the field. It is the first company to provide a system for securely duplicating documents of disparate types so that there is a cryptographically secure link between the copy and the original. This innovative process is called the Secure Digital Photocopier (SDP) and works by taking electronic files of any format and converting them to readable, searchable, printable PDF and/or TIFF files, while it fingerprints and digitally notarizes them so they are secure through the entire discovery process.

Founded as a software development venture in 1996, Evidence Exchange is a privately-held company with offices at Suite 1010, 21 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10001. Founders have over 50 years of expertise in the legal service industry.
