2005 LitigationTrends Survey, by Fulbright & Jawoski L.L.P. did a survey of 354 corporate counsel and CEOs, 50 from U.K.m, and 304 from the United States, with median gross revenues of $484 million.

They found:

  • Companies with $500 million in revenue, on average, are dealing with 37 lawsuits at any one time.
  • Companies with $1 billion in revenue, 147 lawsuits

For policies:

Threats come from three directions:

  • Electronic discovery requests in cases filed against the company
  • Electronic discovery request for lawsuits filed by the companies against others
  • Regulatory agencies probing company records looking for violations

According the report, the greatest concern of the counsel and CEOs, of companies with over $100 million in revenue, was ED (electronic discovery). For smaller companies were worried most about compliance.

Failure to comply is likely to involve electronic evidence.
