Larry Lieb, CCA

Larry Lieb is the Chief Innovation Officer of Scarab Consulting responsible for generating and applying original intellectual property in the field of electronic discovery. Since 1998, Mr. Lieb has been a nationally recognized expert on the best methods to reduce the overall costs of dispute resolution through the appropriate application of technology. Mr. Lieb created, operated, and sold the largest computer forensics and e-discovery provider in the Midwest. The company is still in existence today and enjoys an excellent national reputation.

Mr. Lieb regularly provides corporations with accurate litigation cost models using his proprietary methods. His litigation cost models allow corporations to make an informed cost risk analysis of pursuing any given litigation matter by understanding the true total costs that will be encountered including outside vendors, internal and external counsel costs, court reporting, expert witness costs and more.

His models also enable corporations to measure the true cost reductions that can be achieved by building internal litigation support capabilities. Armed with his expertise, corporate legal departments predict and therefore are able to justify conservative returns on investment for bringing litigation technology in house.

Mr. Lieb is a nationally-recognized speaker, thought-leader, author, and CLE instructor regarding e-discovery best practices, and cost and risk management. He often participates in speaking engagements at conferences on e-discovery, and participates in various expert forums and advisory groups, including the 2,000 member Litigation Support Yahoo Group of which he is Founder and Owner.

Mr. Lieb received a B.A. in Japanese Studies from the University of Illinois, was a Kohn Scholar in the Humanities, and spent his Junior Year at Konan University in Kobe Japan.
