Lori Van Daele focuses her practice on implementing uniform discovery processes and procedures in products liability cases for clients throughout the United States and internationally. Her practice is heavily concentrated on e-discovery issues. In this regard, she helps clients strategize regarding how to gather and retain their electronically stored information and creates litigation holds that have been tailored to the issues and facts of each case. Lori also supervises hand-picked teams of experienced reviewers who review electronically stored documents for relevance and privilege on both large-scale projects and in discrete cases for eventual production in her clients' cases. Additionally, she prepares discovery responses and the production of documents in conjunction with her clients with the aim of minimizng client risk and potential sanctions and providing uniform responses in cases around the country. Lori also prepares discovery motions and responses to motions to compel or, in rare instances, motions for sanctions against her clients, in addition to working with trial counsel and clients to resolve discovery disputes.

 

Her reported cases include Hull v. DaimlerChrysler Corporation, 209 Ariz. 256, 99 P.3d 1026 (Ariz. App., Div. 2, 2004).
