Prominent E-Discovery Firm Accused of Invading 10 Years of Personal Emails

A Dallas trial lawyer has sued a company that bills itself as a global leader in reviewing electronic documents for discovery purposes, claiming that the company illegally downloaded more than 10 years of one of his client’s personal emails.

The lawsuit was filed last month in state district court in Tarrant County by J. Robert Miller Jr., founder of Miller Bryant, against Consilio, which according to its website is “one of the most recognized, well-regarded and capable e-discovery, document review and legal consulting service providers anywhere in the world.” On LinkedIn, Consilio claims to have almost 2,000 employees.
