Sky Discovery Press Release – James Moeskops Appointed Managing Director

 SYDNEY, July 4, 2019. Leading independent Australian eDiscovery firm Sky Discovery today announced that it has appointed James Moeskops as its Managing Director, with the founders to continue as Senior Executives and Board Directors. Moeskops pioneered a consulting led approach to eDiscovery in the UK leading Millnet to become the largest eDiscovery firm headquartered outside the US. In 2016 Moeskops led negotiations to combine Millnet with Advanced Discovery Inc to create a global eDiscovery firm which in turn was acquired by Consilio a global leader in eDiscovery in 2018. 

Moeskops brings invaluable insight into the rapidly evolving global market for eDiscovery technology and services at a time when the Australian market is experiencing unprecedented demand for eDiscovery expertise following the Banking Royal Commission, ensuing class actions, litigation, and shift towards increasingly stringent regulation. 

“The Sky Discovery team have what it takes to be the leading eDiscovery firm in Australia and beyond.  The company is founded on the principles of providing leading expertise, outstanding 24/7 service, technological and process innovation and a commitment to forming close strategic partnerships with clients - factors that were fundamental to the success of Millnet in the UK” said Moeskops. 

“The Australian eDiscovery market shares many similarities with those of the UK and US albeit with a few fundamental differences.  In particular the pool of experienced eDiscovery professionals is small and restrictive. The immigration policies limit the potential to hire internationally leading to a war for local talent and creating a barrier to entry for international eDiscovery firms seeking to enter the Australian market, or firms seeking to build or grow in-house eDiscovery capabilities.  Sky Discovery is ideally placed to meet this demand by offering a long-term strategic partnership to firms requiring outsourced or a hybrid in-house outsourced managed eDiscovery service model.” 

“James brings a wealth of experience and is entirely aligned with Sky Discovery’s culture and ambitions to be the leading independent eDiscovery firm in Australia” said Jeff Jarrett Co-founder and Director of Projects at Sky Discovery.
