Paul C. Easton
Hello! Welcome to my extended profile on Squidoo. I am of that still rare but growing breed often referred to as "technolawyers." I started down a fairly traditional litigation career path, but soon found a niche for my passion for litigation technology and have spent the bulk of my legal career providing electronic discovery and litigation technology project management and consulting services.
I am Managing Director for Global Colleague's Asian operations. Global Colleague is a legal services outsourcing firm based in Washington D.C. and operations in India and Taiwan.
I have managed high-volume document productions in massive litigations and regulatory investigations for numerous multinationals and the law firms that represent them.
My passion is professionalizing document review and evangelizing the value of applying project management standards to the increasingly complex and massive litigations faced by lawyers today.
I also have a passion for deep-fried and highly questionable Taiwanese night market food, but find that not many clients, co-workers, or friends share that passion. I humor them with talk about the weather instead.

Paul's Twitter Tweets
I don't have the time or inclination to send out minute by minute commentary of my days (who'd want to read, "re-indexing databse", "preparing court on Bluebooking", . . . ?) But I do find Twitter useful in keeping in touch, blasting announcements, and sharing interesting discoveries.
