The document discusses challenges with effective e-discovery interactions between legal and IT teams. It notes that legal teams often use too much legal jargon while IT teams use too much technical language, creating communication barriers. IT environments are also very complex with multiple systems, technologies and policies that legal teams may not understand. This can lead to inefficient access to electronically stored information and increased e-discovery costs. The document provides tips for improving interactions, such as developing common vocabularies, bridging knowledge gaps between teams, and quantifying legal risks to collaborate on appropriate solutions.
