A plaintiff steering committee (PSC) co-led by Morgan
& Morgan and Sadaka
Associates, LLC selected cloud legaltech leader DISCO
as its ediscovery solution for the Zostavax shingles vaccine
multidistrict litigation.
In preparation for the litigation, the PSC evaluated multiple solutions
for review and other ediscovery services to empower the eight law firms
to prosecute the case on behalf of all of the plaintiffs in the country
with cases filed in federal court. A fast, intuitive discovery platform
was critical to ensure timely review of information, while providing a
simple way to easily identify the most important documents for the
lawsuit. The PSC went through a robust vetting process, also consulting
firms not associated with the Zostavax litigation about their
experiences with ediscovery solutions.
DISCO was selected not only for its superior cloud-based discovery
platform, but also for the company’s deep expertise working with
plaintiffs in mass torts litigation. No other solution matched DISCO’s
speed and ease of use, nor provided the capabilities to address the
case’s large scale document review requirements.
“DISCO understands the challenges attorneys face in mass tort litigation
and the unique discovery demands we need to address,” said Morgan &
Morgan Partner Michael Goetz. “Mass tort cases are won on handfuls of
documents, and DISCO’s products and services team is exceptional at
helping plaintiffs find critical documents quickly and easily so we can
focus on the merits of the case and helping our clients find justice.”
The PSC also highlighted DISCO’s artificial intelligence as a key
differentiator for interrogating adverse party productions. DISCO’s AI
brings an unrivaled speed and accuracy to finding the outcome
determinative documents that enhance testimony and ultimately improve
case results for plaintiffs.
“As trial lawyers fight for justice for their clients, the ability to
quickly uncover facts and build winning narratives can be the
determining factor in achieving victory,” said DISCO Chief Revenue
Officer Andrew Shimek. “DISCO has a deep understanding of successful
plaintiff firms’ business and how their discovery challenges differ from
their defense counterparts. DISCO makes investing in your client’s
recovery accessible, straightforward and predictable.”
