What every legal team needs to know about cloud ediscovery

Understanding ediscovery in the cloud

Cloud-based ediscovery has changed how legal teams manage data, control costs, and protect client confidences. This guide cuts through the noise and gives you a clear picture of what to look for — and what to watch out for.

‍

Five things you’ll learn from this guide:

1. Why cloud ediscovery costs less than you think 
   SaaS ediscovery platforms cost roughly 35% less than in-house solutions — and eliminate hidden fees like Bates numbering, document conversion, and per-matter licensing. This guide shows you where the real savings are.‍
2. How to tell a true cloud platform from a rebranded one 
   Not every vendor claiming "cloud" is actually delivering it. Learn the difference between true SaaS, private cloud, and hosted software — and why it matters for your team's performance and security.‍
3. What your ethical obligations actually require 
   ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6 have real implications for how lawyers use cloud technology. This guide explains what competent representation looks like in the cloud and how to address it in client engagement letters.‍
4. Why cloud security is stronger than your on-premise setup 
   Hosting data in your own server room may feel safe — but it's often your biggest vulnerability. Discover why enterprise cloud providers offer protections that no on-premise network can match.‍
5. The questions every cloud vendor should be able to answer 
   Before you sign anything, ask these. Our checklist covers SLAs, uptime guarantees, data controls, geographic storage, and more — so you can evaluate vendors with confidence.
