Job Description

Perfect opportunity for an individual with strong technical skills with a background or experience in digital forensics, data science, and information technology to learn real-world skills in eDiscovery and litigation support at a top-ranked litigation support firm.

Cornerstone Discovery is an end-to-end litigation support company seeking to hire a Litigation Support Technician to assist clients with eDiscovery, in-court and out-of-court litigation needs. The Litigation Support Technician will be part of the eDiscovery team and report directly to the eDiscovery Manager.

In this role, you will use programs like Nuix, Cellebrite, ReadySuite, online legal document review platforms, and related tools to handle all aspects of collecting and processing ESI (Electronically Stored Information) and creating and managing document reviews in preparation for document productions. You will assist with advising clients on effective searches, culling of data, basic analysis of technical information and metadata, generating reports based on analysis of data, and working with legal teams on efficient review of documents.

In this role, you will also learn the ins and outs of legal document review platforms - including Cornerstone Discoverys review platform, Junto.net. The technician will assist review teams on this platform, provide training, technical support, and assist with managing reviews.

When not managing eDiscovery tasks this position will lend support to the company's digital forensic or trial support department. These tasks can include collection and forensic imaging of digital devices and collection of data, logging and maintaining chain of custody logs for evidence, processing data for analysis, and traveling to client sites for collections - when necessary. Applicants will utilize forensic hardware and software to assist examiners with complex corporate and criminal investigations. In addition, applicants will be trained in trial and litigation support. Applicants may be expected to be deployed for in-court consulting related to discovery management in large and complex cases, and the display of documents or multimedia in both criminal and civil matters - some of which may be high profile or highly confidential.

This is an entry-level position and the candidate is not required to be knowledgeable of these concepts but must have a solid technical background, strong project management skills, and a willingness to learn. Digital forensics or IT background is a plus. Technical help desk and customer service experience are a plus.

Cornerstone Discovery offers a casual, flexible, fun-filled, and fast-paced work environment. Appropriate business attire is required when meeting clients face-to-face or when in court. Casual attire is acceptable when working in the office.
