About Us

Aaref HilalyAs the CEO of Clearwell, I speak to corporate counsels, lawyers, analysts, and IT executives every day about e-discovery. Conversations range from the growth of electronically stored information, to different ways of improving their e-discovery processes, to the impact of various cases or regulatory changes. My main interests are understanding how the e-discovery industry will evolve, and its broader impact on business, the economy and the law. |

Dean A. Gonsowski, Esq.I’m a former practicing attorney and General Counsel and I’ve spent the last decade helping corporations and law firms proactively and reactively manage the discovery of electronically stored information. I teach a series of continuing legal education courses on electronic discovery topics and am a member of The Sedona Conference Working Group on Electronic Document Retention and Production (WG1). I’m interested in bridging the often sizable gap between the quickly evolving (yet divergent) Legal and IT disciplines. |

Kurt LeafstrandI am currently the working group lead for the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) XML schema definition project and have spent a lot of time with some of the great minds of e-discovery. I’m continually blown away by the pace of change and innovation in the space — and that’s speaking from 25 years of experience in the software industry. My particular focus areas include the design of electronic discovery solutions that can adapt to the rapidly-evolving information landscape (both in terms of volume and types of information), and the role of simplicity and ease of use in streamlining the electronic discovery process. |

Brandon D’Agostino, Esq.I am a former practicing attorney and worked specifically on electronic discovery and information management issues in-house at a large corporation. I also have over ten years of direct IT experience, so e-discovery has proven to be a perfect blend of technical, legal, and business elements. I have spoken at both continuing legal education seminars and e-discovery conferences, and I try to focus on the more practical, day-to-day issues facing e-discovery practitioners that are sometimes overlooked. I am often asked to provide guidance to either legal or IT professionals regarding building stronger relationships between the two groups. |
