Laura Zubulake Joins OLP’s Board of Governors
“As a member of the Board of Governors, I look forward to working and exchanging ideas with a diverse group of experts,” said Zubulake. “My goal is to share my experiences and insight with those looking to learn more about eDiscovery.”

A former Wall Street executive, Zubulake received a crash course in eDiscovery when she became the plaintiff in Zubulake v. UBS, a gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against her former employer. Rather than settle the case, Zubulake herself searched for potential electronic evidence in e-mails and on backup tapes. Her multi-year efforts resulted in several landmark opinions about the obligations to preserve electronically stored information.
In April 2005, a federal jury unanimously found in her favor on both claims and awarded one of the largest single-plaintiff jury awards in the United States in an employment discrimination case. In Octo- ber 2005, the parties settled privately. The December 2006 changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Proce- dure were in part influenced by the Zubulake opinions concerning electronic discovery.
On September 15, Zubulake presented OLP members a well-received webinar: “How I Did It: A Con- versation with Laura Zubulake” that addressed the history of the groundbreaking litigation, how trial and error led to new solutions, and what the cases mean for eDiscovery today.
Ms. Zubulake lives and works in New York. She is currently working on a book about her legal experi- ence and ground-breaking case.
aura A. Zubulake (pronounced zoo-bu-lake as in body of water) has been named a member of OLP’s
Board of Governors. Zubulake is an eDiscovery pioneer, author, consultant and
speaker, particularly about the impact of electronic discovery on the financial services indus- try.
