Posternak Blankstein & Lund LLP Cut Costs by Switching to MerlinOne e‐Discovery Platform

Quincy, MA, June 22, 2009 - The mass migration to electronic discovery in the legal profession has greatly increased the amount of information and resulting cost that trial lawyers must face when preparing for a case. In order to not miss critical information and reduce costs per case, Posternak Blankstein & Lund LLP in Boston, MA, chose MerlinOne's hosted electronic document discovery solution.

The MerlinOne Legal Solution is a powerful digital asset management system that lawyers and paralegals use in the legal review process to easily organize and manage millions of documents, emails, transcripts, photos, graphics, voicemails, and deposition videos. It enables fast, precise searching and easy and flexible drag‐and‐drop workflows.

The MerlinOne Legal Solution is an e-discovery platform that indexes and makes searchable every word in all Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, emails, voicemails, and videos. For example, users can search on every cell in every sheet of an Excel document, even hidden cells. They can also search for the spoken word in a video or voicemail and start watching or listening right at that point, saving huge amounts of time.

The benefits of the MerlinOne electronic document discovery system apply across all levels of a law firm. According to Jon C. Cowen, attorney at Posternak Blankstein & Lund, "the MerlinOne system has been invaluable in identifying key documents to use in our upcoming depositions". Paralegal Jose dos Santos said, "The MerlinOne system has already saved me a tremendous amount of time".

Commenting on the cost of the hosted electronic discovery system, Richard D. Bickelman, Partner at Posternak Blankstein & Lund, said, "The MerlinOne system allows us to handle an unlimited number of cases and documents for one low, fixed monthly fee".
