Nicole Gill

Chair and Managing Member

Philadelphia

Chair and Managing Member of the firm’s eDiscovery practice, Nicole works with attorneys and clients firmwide to develop efficient and effective discovery management strategies tailored to the case at hand. Leveraging advanced technologies and analytics, she manages complex and high-profile eDiscovery projects and routinely navigates data and privacy protection laws across many jurisdictions, both domestic and foreign.

Nicole participates in 26(f) conferences; negotiates agreements and stipulations establishing parties’ obligations with respect to preserving, searching, and producing electronically stored information (ESI); directs use of artificial intelligence (AI) in discovery; and negotiates technology assisted review (TAR) and predictive coding protocols. She also advises on collection methodology, search and retrieval methodology, FRE 502(d) orders, and production specifications and develops internal and external discovery guidelines addressing each phase of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM).

Additionally, Nicole is involved in discovery-related motion practice, including the drafting of affidavits in support of cost-shifting. She also implements quality control procedures to mitigate risk and counsels both clients and colleagues on issues related to eDiscovery, information governance, and data management.

Nicole is a member of the Sedona Conference and is currently part of the WG6 Drafting Committee focused on exploring data privacy issues related to the Exportation of Data from the People’s Republic of China. The leading think tank on eDiscovery law and practice, the Sedona Conference’s commentaries are regularly cited by judges and significantly influence the development of rules of evidence and civil procedure for federal and state courts. Nicole is also a member of the Philadelphia Chapter of Women in eDiscovery, serves as Vice Chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Wellness and Quality of Life committee, and is on the firm’s Women’s Initiative Executive Committee.

Prior to joining the firm, Nicole was an associate attorney at the Philadelphia office of a Northeast-based law firm where she defended health care providers and companies in malpractice and negligence actions. She was also a judicial intern for the Honorable Marjorie Rendell, U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and a summer law clerk for the Honorable Juan Sánchez.  Nicole has written articles appearing in The Legal Intelligencer, Bloomberg Law, The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, The Pennsylvania Bar Association Quarterly, and the World Association for Medical Law’s Medicine and Law Journal.
