Jennifer has remarkably set herself apart in an extremely dynamic and legal technology-focused area of practice – legal hold/preservation, discovery and information governance. In this unique area of law that changes quickly, clients look to Jennifer for best practices based on experience, especially when the courts have not yet provided guidance on the topic. Jennifer is known for her intentional initiative to remain current in the industry, making her invaluable for clients seeking guidance.

Managing complex discovery in high-profile single plaintiff, multiparty and MDL contexts, Jennifer is instrumental in advising clients on legal hold implementation and ongoing management, developing preservation strategies incorporating IT and HR functions, selecting and managing vendors, identifying and forensically collecting custodial and noncustodial data, training, overseeing and conducting quality control of large and diverse review teams, aiding in validation and production, and coordinating nonparty discovery.

Jennifer also works with corporate executives to build and manage comprehensive information governance programs, including implementing and managing matter-specific legal holds, as well as overhauling and updating legal hold programs, developing tailored record retention policies and schedules, hosting information governance related training and advising on defensible disposition.
