Christopher M. Schultz has become Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Level 2 Legal Solutions, a leading e-discovery and legal services outsourcing firm. Schultz goes to Level 2 from the AmLaw 50 firm Perkins Coie, where he was the founder and co-chair of the firm’s e-discovery practice.
“I have partnered with Level 2 on the most complex and sensitive of cases over the years and have watched them position themselves right where I want to be ̶ at the intersection of technology and unparalleled personal attention to clients’ needs,” said Schultz. “There is a new value model quickly emerging in the legal world, and the opportunities are tremendous for Level 2.”
Schultz joins Level 2 after more than 16 years with Perkins Coie. He formed and co-chaired the E-Discovery Services & Strategies legal practice at the firm in 2007 and quickly established himself as one of the first experts in the new world of e-discovery law. A faculty member for The Sedona Conference, the legal sector’s premier forum dedicated to the advancement of e-discovery law and policy, Schultz graduated summa cum laude from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law where he was an editor of the Arizona Law Review.
“Schultz’s extensive relationships range from Fortune 50 corporations to technology startups, having provided advice and expertise on the legal and technical issues surrounding data retention, corporate compliance, document production and the full scope of e-discovery in litigation and investigations,” the company said in a release. “He has also served as a key discovery expert in a number of high-profile intellectual property and employment class-action matters.”
