Joseph M. Cahill

Associate

Joseph M. Cahill is an associate in Morgan Lewis's eData Practice.

eData is an innovative practice founded by Morgan Lewis to address the impact of electronic data on business and legal strategies. Formerly known as Legal Logistics, eData helps clients meet increasingly demanding regulatory and legal requirements with cost-effective prelitigation risk management, eDiscovery consulting, and document review.

We partner with in-house legal, IT, and records-management teams as well as outside technology vendors to apply best practices, inside and outside litigation. We offer start-to-finish litigation management, from litigation holds and data preservation, to negotiations with opposing counsel, to discovery motion practice, depositions, and trial support. We are a national team with both West Coast and East Coast capabilities.

Our emphasis is on giving practical, real-world advice and services to clients. Combining legal experience with technological know-how, eData brings all aspects of electronic data and records management—which traditionally have operated independently—together in one shop. This critical link drives strategic thinking, collaboration, and problem solving. Our industry-leading “best practices” guide clients to meeting eDiscovery obligations in ways that minimize cost and maximize quality.

The eData Practice plays a large role in defending clients in corporate matters, including product liability, mass torts, antitrust, M&A, regulatory, white collar, compliance, construction, insurance coverage, and complex commercial litigation.

Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Mr. Cahill served as the general counsel of a Washington, D.C. bank. Before this employment, Mr. Cahill was in private practice representing financial institutions.

Mr. Cahill received his J.D. from the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law in 1978 and his B.A. from the Catholic University of America in 1975.

Mr. Cahill is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and Maryland and before the U.S. District Courts for the Districts of Columbia and Maryland and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia and the Fourth Circuits.
