5 Unique challenges in ediscovery for construction litigation

What are the biggest ediscovery challenges in construction litigation?

Construction disputes aren't getting simpler or cheaper — the average North American construction dispute jumped 42% to $42.8 million in 2022. The complexity shows up in five recurring ediscovery challenges: massive, multi-format data sets like CAD files, BIM models, and mobile data; ESI protocols that don't account for construction-specific terminology; coordinating internal and external stakeholders across a case; keeping costs predictable as data volumes grow; and presenting technical evidence clearly to judges and juries. This one-hour on-demand webinar, featuring April Williams of Yates Construction alongside Nextpoint's construction litigation experts, breaks down practical strategies for each, including how to:

• Manage large, complex data collections — including mobile data
• Negotiate and comply with ESI protocols
• Collaborate seamlessly with internal and external stakeholders
• Keep costs predictable no matter how complex the case gets
• Present technical evidence clearly and persuasively

For a step-by-step framework you can apply immediately, see our Construction Litigation eDiscovery Checklist or read how Yates Construction put these strategies into practice.
