Millnet has announced a number of new appointments within its Legal Services team, adding to its already impressive Smart e-Discovery offering.
The new appointments include Stephen Davis as Director of Legal Support Services, Emma Bolsover as Director of Technical Services and Emma Kettleton as Manager, Technical Operations.
Stephen Davis joins Millnet from Anacomp where he was Sales Director of its UK Business Process Management business and latterly Managing Director of its Litigation Support Software subsidiary, CaseLogistix. Prior to that Stephen held senior sales roles in blue chip technology companies in both the UK and New York. Stephen takes on responsibility for client development and new business.
Emma Bolsover’s promotion and the creation of the new role of Technical Services Director reflects the increasing importance of the project management and consulting aspects of the business. Emma was a founding member of Millnet’s pioneering e-discovery team when it was established in 2000 and has played a key role in the development of the consulting and project management team in the past ten years.
Emma Kettleton has worked in litigation support for a number of years, most recently at US law firm Latham & Watkins where she worked as a litigation and e-discovery specialist. Before that, Emma spent 6 years as a project manager at Australian firm, Allens Arthur Robinson, where her main role was managing litigation and e-discovery cases.
Commenting on the expansion, James Moeskops, Managing Director of Legal Support Services, says, “These appointments reflect our aim to establish the strongest independent litigation support team in the sector. Although the technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, in many ways this had made it harder for lawyers to determine the most effective approach in any given case. For instance, just because the technology now exists to undertake in-depth forensic analysis, it does not mean that this should always the first port of call. When it comes to e-discovery, one size certainly does not fit all. Our desire to offer appropriate solutions means that product knowledge, experience and judgement are of equal importance in deciding the best approach.
I have always believed that technology should be an adjunct to expertise and not the other way around. With over seventy man-years of e-discovery experience in the team, Millnet is well placed to advise its clients, particularly in the post-Jackson world where proportionality and keeping down the costs of e-discovery are imperative. This requires not only good technology but good advice.”
“And,” he adds, ”this is an ongoing expansion – we are always looking for good people!”
