FTI Consulting - Ex-FBI outfit used by Toyota defense counsel, seeks attorney-redactors


FTI Consulting is the outfit used by Toyota defense counsel Skadden, Arp to prepare a protocol for digging into every last bit of my computer's metadata. Thankfully, they don't seem to have gotten the court's OK to do that.

Meanwhile, this intriguing ad showed up in my inbox today courtesy of The Posse List. |FTI now must be tasked for a gargantuan amount of redaction by some Japanese corporate client. Who could that be?  Takata? [UPDATE: The FTI consulting ad was supplemented two days later with ads for similar projects in LA and SanFran. Hmm!]

Redaction is the stock-in-trade of every good defense counsel whose client is in a hot spot.

Question: Who gets to peek behind the redactions to see if they are justified? My guess...no one.
