Joseph Rao

I’m an experienced eDiscovery and litigation support professional with over 13 years managing complex legal data workflows, document productions, and trial preparation. As Chief Operations Officer at Lawcopy LLC, I oversaw large-scale eDiscovery projects from collection through production, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and on-time delivery under tight deadlines.

My background spans vendor management, client communication, and the full EDRM lifecycle — including data collection, processing, hosting, review, and production. I’m skilled in tools such as IPRO and Relativity, with a strong focus on quality control, cost-efficiency, and project coordination across internal teams, outside counsel, and corporate clients.

I’m passionate about optimizing processes, improving client outcomes, and bridging the gap between legal and technical teams to deliver defensible, efficient eDiscovery solutions.
