Shepherd Data Services Hires Litigation Attorney Bridget A. Sullivan

Feb. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Shepherd Data Services (Shepherd), a Minneapolis-based leader in full-service litigation support including e-discovery and review technology, announces it has expanded its client services and consulting department and hired Bridget A. Sullivan as Director of Client Services. Ms. Sullivan is an experienced commercial and IP litigation attorney who will leverage her skills and expertise to consult with law firms and corporate legal departments involved with complex litigation and discovery issues. Ms. Sullivan and her client services team will apply the best strategies and technology solutions to help clients across the Twin Cities navigate through the litigation process.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to lead Shepherd’s client services group as we’re in the midst of tremendous growth and exciting changes in the world of e-discovery,” stated Sullivan, director of client services for Shepherd. “With increasing risks, regulation and changes in the way people use and access data as it pertains to litigation, our clients are not only in need of better, more effective and cost-conscious solutions, but also need to have the best-of-breed technology so they can positively impact their overall case strategy.”

Christine Chalstrom, president of Shepherd, says, “Bridget comes to us with a wide range of litigation experience including commercial, trademark, antitrust and class action lawsuits. She has worked for federal agencies, litigated complex cases in numerous federal jurisdictions and served as local counsel for DLA Piper lawyers worldwide in a broad range of cases. We are excited to have her as part of our team and we know that our clients are going to benefit tremendously from her sage advice.”

Over the past months Shepherd has taken steps to expand and enhance its client services department and core operations, including promotions of Dennis Waldrop from director of operations to vice president, Brandon Ward from IT manager to director of IT, and Benjamin Legatt from client services consultant to technical solutions manager.  With the addition of Ms. Sullivan, the company will be able to expand and extend its reputation as a leader in client services.

Ms. Sullivan will be based out of Shepherd’s Minneapolis headquarters. She achieved her J.D. from the University of Minnesota and her work history includes powerhouse legal entities such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, DLA Piper US LLP, Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP, and Faegre and Benson LLP.

Since 2002, Shepherd has grown from a one-person operation to a full-service professional firm of legal, technology, IT, software, project management, and customer service experts.
