EED Files Suit Against Sullivan & Cromwell
Proven provider of eDiscovery services sues to enforce contractual obligations
KIRKLAND, Wash. – January 8, 2008 – Electronic Evidence Discovery (EED), a leading provider of eDiscovery services, today announced that it has filed suit against Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP in Superior Court of the State of Washington-King County. EED seeks to enforce the terms of its contract with Sullivan & Cromwell and to recover outstanding fees for services rendered during early- and mid-2007. The suit was filed after Sullivan & Cromwell attempted to bring a breach of contract suit in federal court in New York on December 28, 2007.
“We believe this matter is nothing more than a dispute regarding payment of a valid receivable,” said Dave McCann, president and CEO of EED. “We are disappointed that Sullivan & Cromwell has chosen to litigate this matter rather than negotiate in good faith, but we are prepared to ensure that the terms of our contract are enforced. We are confident that we will prevail.”
“Meanwhile, we will continue to deliver market-leading services on the more than 200 cases we are servicing daily on our hosted portal, and we will continue to successfully deliver services to corporations and law firms across America. This unique client dispute is an unfortunate aberration from what was a record year for EED in 2007, during which we processed a record amount of electronic evidence, innovated several new services on our EED Discovery & Review portal and hosted the largest case in the Company’s history,” said McCann.
