Notas do Editor

  1. Hello and welcome to this ACEDS webcast, Preparing for Success: How to Advance Your Career in E-Discovery, presented by Tru Staffing Partners. I’m your host Robert Hilson of ACEDS, and I’m pleased to be joined today by a great speaker who I’ll introduce in a moment. But first I have a couple of brief announcements.
  2. For those of you who aren’t familiar with us, We are a members-only association that provides training, resources, and networking to the e-discovery community. We also offer the Certified E-Discovery Specialist credential, which is held by nearly a thousand professionals across the Americas, Europe and Asia. You can join today and start receiving a number of benefits exclusive to our members, including news content, on-demand web seminars, our bits+bytes newsletter and discounts on certification and our West Coast E-Discovery Summit in October.
  3. The Summit is just three months away. We will be gathering at the historic Westin St. Francis in San Francisco where experts in the field will give guidance and best practices to enable paralegals and litigation support professionals to perform essential e-discovery roles in their law firms and legal departments. The event features six panels on Day 1 and certification preparation on Day 2, plus great networking events. You can register now for as low as $195, and as a special thank you for attending today’s program, if you enter the code “TRU20,” you will receive a 20 percent discount.
  4. I am pleased to be joined again by Jared Coseglia, founder and president of Tru Staffing Partners in New York. Jared has more than a decade of experience representing talent in e-Discovery and Litigation Support and has successfully placed more than 1500 professionals in full-time and temporary positions at the AmLaw 200, Fortune 1000, and within the Legal Technology Service Provider community. From 2004 to 2009, Jared co-founded and served as the Sr. Vice President at The Cowen Group, quickly becoming a globally recognized “go-to” person for clients and candidates in need of staffing solutions or career guidance and management. Recently, TRU was ranked as a Top 3 Best National Legal Recruiter in Best of The National Law Journal Awards, as well as Best Legal & Litigation Support Agency by the New York Law Journal. Jared will also be giving guidance on career development in light of e-discovery and legal technology trends at the ACEDS West Coast Summit, and will hit on some of those topics today. Jared, it’s great to have you back. Thanks for joining us. Before we begin, I want to quickly tell our audience that we will be fielding questions. Please type them into the chat box on the right of your screen, and we will get to them at the end of the presentation. Okay, Jared, it’s all yours.
