Alex Marjanovic

Alex’s experience includes the whole lifecycle of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), from delivering proactive assistance in relation to information governance and discovery readiness consulting to preservation, processing, and review of data for production purposes. Alex has guided and overseen e-discovery engagements on a variety of matters ranging from internal investigations tied to data exfiltration to bet-the-company government investigations. Alex regularly collaborates with his forensic accounting colleagues, providing e-discovery support for matters involving audit committees and management, including investigations into allegations of improper accounting, misappropriation, cybersecurity failures, foreign corruption, and other complex financial accounting issues that require additional data management and e-discovery oversight.

Alex has extensive experience navigating clients’ budgetary requirements and advising on workflows that adhere to proportionality. He understands that one of the most complex challenges for companies in litigation is monitoring expenses tied to e-discovery, and that cost predictability is best achieved by leveraging appropriate technologies and workflows, and by implementing a phased approach to each milestone in managed e-discovery matters.

With a team that has deep experience utilizing analytics, technology-assisted review, and generative artificial intelligence tools and workflows, Alex tailors the appropriate approaches and technologies to each engagement. He and his team regularly design new e-discovery strategies that align with matter-specific budgets and proportionality requirements.

As part of the leadership team for the Ankura Risk Advisory practice, Alex leads account management, project management, sales operations, and thought leadership endeavors. He supports litigation readiness, early case assessment, structured data expert services, forensic collection and analysis for investigations and lawsuits, electronically stored information processing, database hosting, and technology-assisted review.

Prior to joining Ankura, Alex was a managing partner at a business services firm in their e-discovery and managed review division for seven years, where he managed regional project management, business development executives, sales operations, and customer service teams. These teams’ core services included information governance, early case assessment, hosted review, and technology-assisted review.
