Sullivan & Cromwell Settles Suit Against E-Discovery Firm
Sullivan & Cromwell has reached a confidential settlement with an e-discovery firm it had accused of blowing deadlines and making mistakes in a major case, the New York Law Journal reports.
The suit against Electronic Evidence Discovery Inc. said the law firm had to divert staff and resources to deal with the “untimely and inaccurate” work. As a result, the firm contended it was not obligated to pay more than $700,000 in bills to the vendor. EED countersued for payment.
Electronic Evidence Discovery CEO David McCann told the legal publication the dispute was an “aberration” and the company has a “history of striving for high client satisfaction.” Sullivan & Cromwell partner David Tulchin said in a statement that there were “misunderstandings on both sides of the project.”
