Energize your ediscovery with ZDiscovery
In recent years, energy companies have been subject to increasing volumes of litigation and regulatory actions. Along with the more routine litigation an energy company typically handles, new types of litigation related to climate change and increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies and environmental groups around large-scale equipment failures have added pressure to the in-house legal team.
In response, many energy companies are taking first steps toward digital transformation, using new technology to better predict, manage, and control networks. Today, data is not just generated by people; machines, including sensors, meters, monitoring devices, and other scientific instruments, are constantly recording troves of data that must be maintained.
- Data volumes are doubling roughly every two years and the cost of litigation, especially ediscovery, is increasing at a similar rate.
- The energy sector is beginning to address cybersecurity and physical security risks, not simply for compliance, but also as it relates to business and data assets.

Challenge: As data volumes rapidly increase, legal teams must ensure that their ediscovery processes address the entire scope of an organization’s relevant data, including data gathered from sensors and other recording equipment as well as from mobile devices and backup tapes.
Common matters for in-house teams at energy companies:
- Subpoena responses
- Regulatory investigations
- Routine litigation
- Employment matters
- Public Interest Litigation
- Contract
