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.
