BIA Hosts the ESI Roundtable for Its May Knowledge Leadership Webinar

NEW YORK - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Business Intelligence Associates (http://www.biaprotect.com/), Inc. (BIA (http://www.biaprotect.com/)), a leader in Managed Legal Services (http://www.biaprotect.com/services.html) and services, announced that they will host the ESI Roundtable in its May webinar.

"We've had several requests for a program discussing best practices of building and training eDiscovery teams.  We we're thrilled to be partnering with the ESI Roundtable (http://www.esiroundtable.org/) in May for such a program.  The ESI Roundtable was founded by industry veteran Melissa Rogozinski (http://www.linkedin.com/in/melissarogozinski) as a means to provide relevant, community-based programming and resources for those of us who do not specialize in eDiscovery," said Robin Thompson (http://www.linkedin.com/in/robinathlynthompson), the creator and producer of BIA's educational programs.  "I've long been a fan of the organization, and this was a natural opportunity to partner with ESIRT this month, and to introduce our constituency to ESIRT," added Thompson.

"ESIRT was founded out of a need that 'small town law' had for eDiscovery education and resources.  Our audience needed to learn the law on ESI, but more importantly, they wanted practical information to implement back at the office after a program.  It didn't take long for in-house counsel to ask for ESIRT-style programs for practical application by corporate legal departments.  Since Robin has been a mentor for several years and is now an ESIRT Advisory Board member, I knew I wanted to work with her to meet that need.  Until now, corporate legal and outside counsel have been educated about ESI and eDiscovery in silos, but now, this convergence of the minds has given birth to an ESIRT Corporate Community.  It's an honor to work with Robin Thompson and launch ESIRT Corporate's inaugural program and showcase some of our most knowledgeable corporate counsel and Advisory Board," said Melissa Rogozinski.
