2025 New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Reporting Reminder

For nearly two decades, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) has served as the industry’s roadmap for managing electronically stored information (ESI) throughout the litigation lifecycle. Whether organizations realized it or not, many of the workflows, technologies, and best practices used in eDiscovery have been shaped by this framework. Now, for the first time since the model was expanded to incorporate the Information Governance Reference Model (IGRM), the EDRM is undergoing a significant evolution.

As Avalon’s Managing Director of Managed Review, Chuck brings something rare to the table: The operational rigor of a military background, the strategic instincts of someone who has navigated some of the most complex reviews in the country, and a genuine belief that the people on both sides of the table matter as much as the technology behind them.

Avalon is deepening its investment in channel partnerships to help legal service providers – including litigation support vendors, eDiscovery platforms, and law firm service divisions – access scalable, complementary litigation support solutions. Through these strategic relationships, organizations can diversify their offerings with services such as managed document review, digital forensics, and legal paper solutions, allowing them to better serve clients while maintaining focus on their core business.
