Our CEO, Harry Buck, who is also President of the ACEDS (Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists) New York Chapter, hosted the first in-person meeting of the ACEDS chapter since the beginning of the pandemic over the weekend. This event was a great opportunity for e-Discovery professionals from the metropolitan area to meet and discuss current issues facing the industry in a social setting. It was great to see everyone who attended and to see that New York still represents such a strong and growing legal services industry. We are looking forward to many more events like this in the coming year.
