Associate

Stephanie J. Johnson is an associate in Morgan Lewis's Litigation Practice and a member of the eData team.

Ms. Johnson concentrates her practice on issues related to compliance, records retention, litigation readiness, electronic discovery, and the monitoring of electronic communications.

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 the eData team, Ms. Johnson worked as an associate in Morgan Lewis's Litigation Practice, where she focused on complex business litigation across a range of industries. Her representations have included business disputes involving breach of contract, bad faith, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair business practices, trade secrets, and corporate governance.

Ms. Johnson earned her L.P.C., with commendation, from the College of Law of England and Wales, London in 1997 and her LL.B. from the University of Birmingham, England in 1996.

Ms. Johnson is admitted to practice in California and New York.
