Adam M Shoshtari

Data and Discovery Strategies; Privacy and Data Security; Mass Tort; Litigation

Adam’s practice focuses on discovery, records and information management, information protection and data privacy. As part of Shook’s Data and Discovery Strategies group, Adam advises clients on best practices for preservation, collection, processing, review and production as part of the discovery process. He has experience in preparing and negotiating protective orders and production protocols, as well as opposing unduly burdensome and costly discovery requests and “discovery on discovery” efforts. In addition, Adam has successfully executed Microsoft Office 365 deployments—employing creative and "outside the box" solutions to planning, change management, data governance and in-place discovery in the Microsoft Cloud environment—for some of the world's largest organizations.

Adam volunteers with The Electronic Discovery Institute, a nonprofit organization that studies litigation processes and produces educational programs for the benefit of the federal and state judiciary. He spearheads EDI’s Spoliation Guide, a 50-state case survey intended to aid practitioners who need more information than they can find in a case law primer.
