Stan Gibson is an experienced trial lawyer, who has
focused on high-stakes cases involving complicated technology.
As part of his practice, Stan concentrates on the
intricacies of document retention in the electronic age, from
counseling and advising clients on best practices for records
retention, preserving and retrieving e-documents efficiently and
cost effectively, to the mechanics of conducting e-discovery through
the litigation process and trial.
Stan has used e-discovery to achieve significant
results for his clients, including most recently in the Medtronic v.
Michelson case that resulted in a $570 million verdict for his
client. In that case, millions of pages of e-documents were reviewed
using cutting edge e-discovery search and retrieval techniques,
which led directly to "smoking gun" evidence that Stan used to
examine witnesses in front of the jury.
