eDiscovery Project Manager

Are you passionate about e-Discovery and looking to support the creation of our new in-house eDiscovery service?

We are offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced eDiscovery Project Manager to join the Mourant Forensics team. In this role, you will own the delivery of eDiscovery matters end to end, acting as the accountable project lead across the EDRM. You will partner with legal teams, clients and internal stakeholders to scope, plan and deliver defensible eDiscovery workflows, taking accountability for cost, risk, timelines and quality across the lifecycle of each matter, from collection through to production.

If you have strong eDiscovery experience and are seeking a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you!

About the role

• Project Management: Lead end to end management of eDiscovery projects, including matter scoping, assumptions and constraints, cost modelling, resourcing, risk identification and mitigation, change control, and post matter review. This includes hands on project management of large-scale data processing, review and production phases, from initial processing strategy through to final and rolling productions.

Ensure delivery is aligned to the strategy and risk profile of contentious, regulatory and investigative matters.

• eDiscovery Delivery & Technology: Lead decisions on how eDiscovery technology is used across processing, review, analysis and production, ensuring workflows are proportionate, defensible and appropriate to the strategy, complexity and risk profile of each matter.

• Workflows & Best Practices: Design and implement workflows for document reviews, ensuring processes align with best practices, firm policies, and legal standards.

• Client & Internal Liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact between clients, external vendors, and internal stakeholders (IT, Legal Risk Management). Coordinate with external service providers for tasks such as electronic disclosure, translations, and forensic analysis.

• Quality Control & Reporting: Define and oversee quality control measures across processing, review and production, ensuring outputs are defensible, auditable and aligned to agreed scope. Provide clear reporting to legal teams and clients.

• Training & Support: Provide user support and training to internal teams and clients on eDiscovery tools, review platforms, and data-sharing solutions. Troubleshoot any issues and manage expectations across all parties involved.

• EDRM Governance: Apply the EDRM as a practical delivery and governance framework, ensuring appropriate controls, documentation, auditability and decision points at each phase, and the ability to justify approach and outcomes if challenged.
