Get to the Facts Faster: Taking Control of eDiscovery In-House

When an urgent dispute or investigation hits, how quickly can your legal team preserve critical evidence, understand what happened, and make informed decisions about the response? Bringing key parts of eDiscovery in-house can help counsel get to the facts sooner, focus outside counsel’s work, and maintain greater control over discovery costs and timelines. The practical question is where to start—and how much your team should take on. Join us on Monday, October 26, at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT as Jenn Nagarajan, Senior Director, Associate General Counsel for Litigation at Rippling, and host Grace Herman, Content Marketing Specialist at Reveal, for a discussion of how to build an in-house discovery approach that supports faster responses and more focused collaboration with outside counsel. Drawing on Rippling’s experience with a dispute involving allegations of corporate espionage and a fast-moving competitor case, Jenn will share how her team approached urgent evidence needs and the discovery capabilities that supported its response. The discussion will cover legal hold management, complex Slack collections, and narrowing large volumes of data before outside counsel review. You’ll hear how Rippling decides what to handle internally, when to bring in outside expertise, and how technology supports those choices—along with where AI could take the in-house model next. Key Takeaways: Build readiness before an urgent matter: Understand why legal hold and preservation are often the first discovery capabilities to bring in-house. Get to relevant information sooner: Explore how Rippling handles complex Slack collections and narrows data to accelerate review. Focus outside counsel’s work: Learn how handling early discovery steps internally can help your team define the scope of external support. Decide how much to bring in-house: Consider how matter demands, internal capacity, technology, and outside expertise shape the right approach for your department. You’ll leave better equipped to identify which discovery capabilities your team should own and how to balance speed, control, cost, and external support. Who Should Attend: This program is designed for in-house litigation counsel, legal operations professionals, and e-discovery or litigation support leaders responsible for managing evidence preservation, collection, and review during high-stakes disputes — and for anyone deciding how much of that work to keep in-house versus hand to outside counsel.
