Law Firms Tap Tech Companies For Help Amid Title IX Uptick

Oct 24, 2021

About a year and a half ago, an undisclosed academic client of Holland & Knight LLP found itself in a bit of a pickle: it had to comply with and respond to a governmental agency’s Title IX request for information.
Philip J. Catanzano, a senior counsel for Holland & Knight who advises schools on Title IX policies and cases, told Law360 Pulse that responding to the governmental request required going through a huge number of documents in a short period of time.

“How do we get through all these documents in an efficient way?” Catanzano said. “The option was using some associates at my firm or using [an outside provider], which could be totally dedicated to it and have the ability to staff it.”

The firm reached out to Level Legal, a legal services company that specializes in areas such as eDiscovery and managed document review.

Our Framework

Understand.

During this phase, we work to step away from any assumptions and guesses about what our customers needs, and let our research findings inform our decision-making. We learn more about our customers, their problems, wants, and needs, and the environment or context in which they will use the solution we offer.

Our Framework

Define.

During the Define phase, we analyze our research findings from the Understand phase and determine what is the most important problem to solve — and why. This step defines the goal. Then we can give a clear problem statement, describing what our customers’ needs are that we are trying to solve, making sure that we heard and defined their problem correctly.

Our Framework

Solve.

This phase is an important part of the discipline in our process. People often settle for the first solution, but the most obvious solution is often not the right one. During the Solve phase, we brainstorm collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to generate many unique solutions. We then analyze our potential solutions and make choices about which are the best to pursue based on learnings in the Understand phase.

Our Framework

Build & Test.

This phase is critical in developing the right solution to our customers’ problem. An organized approach to testing can help avoid rework and create exceptional outcomes. Starting small and testing the solution, we iterate quickly, before deploying solutions across the entire project.

Our Framework

Act.

During this phase, the hard work of prior phases comes to life in our customers’ best solution. The research, collaboration, and testing performed prior to project kick-off ensure optimal results.

Our Framework

Feedback.

At the project completion, we convene all stakeholders to discuss what went well, what could have been better, and how we might improve going forward. We call these meetings “Retrospectives,” and we perform them internally as a project team, and with our external customers. The Retrospective is one of the most powerful, meaningful tools in our framework.
