Full Time Bristol, England 33735 - 35410 GBP ANNUAL Today
Job description

There's no more exciting time to be thinking about joining Womble Bond Dickinson than now. The dynamic nature of the legal sector is just one challenge that we need to respond to as a business to ensure that our clients get the best possible service from us and our business continues to be sustainable. One of the ways in which we're responding to the market is through continued investment in legal technology, including our in-house eDiscovery Team.

Our eDiscovery Team advises across the breadth of WBD's litigation practices on all aspects of the Discovery process. We now have an exciting opportunity for a eDiscovery Specialist to join this team.

What will you be doing?

You will work with a variety of litigations teams across the firm to support the end to end management of the disclosure process from initial data mapping, preservation and collection, building a defensible disclosure process, to production. The role would also include the continuing support with the management and use of documents for the production of evidence, trial preparation and document presentation at hearings/trials.

You'll be required to provide technical and project support on all phases of a disclosure exercise. In particular, the role would include advising how to collect, process, organise, analyse, cull and review data for optimal results, and establish workflows to support efficient document reviews. This may be within our internal e-discovery solution. Or where we work with external e-discovery providers you'll act as a liaison between the external provider, WBD teams and clients; advising on the options available for various stages of the e-disclosure process; and management of the services provided by the external provider. You would also be responsible for managing reviews undertaken by our document review team in the Legal Solutions Centre.

There will be multiple projects to co-ordinate at a time across the litigation teams so you'll be ensuring effective deployment and prioritisation of resources, and ensuring services are delivered within budget and with a customer-orientated ethos.

You'll be working with various teams throughout WBD on the day to day operation of projects so you will be able to identify training needs and provide assistance to teams with matters relating to e- disclosure/data management best practices. We're always looking for ways to work more effectively, you'll play a key role in making suggestions to improve document management during the life cycle of litigation proceedings.

So what are we looking for?

While you may already have experience of working in a law firm, what's more important to us is that you are proficient in the use of e-discovery technology and understand the key concepts of the EDRM model. Previous experience of Everlaw and Relativity would also be beneficial to this role. You will need to be able to manage multiple projects in parallel, with a view to resources, deadlines and costs. As mentioned, this very much both an internal and client facing role so you'll need to be able to position e-discovery problems/solutions in a way that everyone involved can understand and provide excellent client services / build relationships with the team's internal and external clients.

You'll work closely with the e-discovery team and other members of the business to continue to build a credible and high performing e-discovery practice. Being a creative thinker with new ideas on how e-discovery technology can be deployed in novel ways would be of real interest.


What makes it great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits! We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that can often become lasting friendships.

Through our ED&I initiatives we create an environment in which difference is valued. We have a Diversity and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which works with our colleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our networks to better support everybody). We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities and sexual orientations. Please get in touch to let us know how we can give you the best possible recruitment experience.

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important that our people are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and wellbeing, including our team of dedicated mental health first aiders. We recognise that getting the right work life balance is a priority for all of us and we're very happy to talk flexible working, full-time or part-time working patterns. We also recognise the challenges of relocation and post-pandemic return to the office.

And that's not all, alongside a competitive salary you'll receive a flexible benefits package so you can choose and vary the benefits that matter most to you.
