With so much attention on containing costs, it can be difficult for IT leaders to successfully advocate for projects.  In this December edition of Law Technology Now, host Monica Bay welcomes Jo Haraf, former CIO of Morrison & Foerster and founder of Haraf Professional Services, to discuss how IT leaders can mesh their strategies with firm goals, by creating “IT Portfolios.”

In this edition of the ESI Report, Kroll Ontrack Managing Staff Attorney Gina Jytyla welcomes Tim Morgner, President of Complete Systems Integration and Rich Kessler, Managing Consultant in Kroll Ontrack’s ESI Consulting Group, to discuss how to best bridge the communication gap that can exist between Legal and IT and how these two departments can work together in creating an efficient e-discovery response to investigations or litigation.  In the Bits & Bytes segment, Kroll Ontrack Legal Correspondent, Kelly Kubacki, will take a look at the discovery order issued in Bray & Gillespie Management LLC v. Lexington Insurance Company.
