Associate

Molly S. Hopkins is an associate in Morgan Lewis's Litigation Practice and a member of the eData Team.

A vital part of our Litigation Practice, eData is an expanding practice area created at 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 meet eDiscovery obligations in ways that minimize cost and maximize quality.

The eData team 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, Ms. Hopkins practiced bankruptcy and commercial litigation. She earned her J.D. from Villanova University School of Law in 2003, where she interned for Justice Sandra Schultz Newman of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Ms. Hopkins earned her B.A. in history, cum laude, from Roanoke College in 2000, where she was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, and Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society.

Ms. Hopkins is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
