Walsh Associate Deana I. Davis Co-Authors Article in IADC Defense Counsel Journal

February 7, 2025 in Firm News, News, Press Release

Walsh associate Deana I. Davis and Hackensack Meridian Health associate general counsel Maureen Mahoney co-authored the article, “Managing Corporate Discovery to Prevent a Reptile Attack,” in Volume 92, No. 1 of the Defense Counsel Journal, a law review of the International Association of Defense Counsel

The pair explores how the “reptile theory” can be used by plaintiffs to exploit the often iterative process by which electronic evidence is gathered and produced in civil litigation, in an effort to elevate the process of eDiscovery vastly above the actual merits of the underlying claims.

The Defense Counsel Journal has been continuously published by the IADC since 1934. Walsh partner Peter J. Pizzi is the current Editor.
