Baumstark

My years of experience in legal project management and quality control have trained me to quickly identify those critical, hot documents that matter most to our client’s case. I make sure they are coded correctly so the entire team can utilize them to support our client’s position at deposition or at trial.

Overview

Kristine Baumstark provides strategic litigation support across multiple practice areas, with a primary focus on document review and coding, deposition preparation, as well as general research, writing and case strategy.

Kristine joined the firm with several years of project management and quality control experience within the e-discovery field. Her proficiency with document review databases, such as Relativity and Nuix, enable her to hit the ground running, swiftly grasp case theories and deliver targeted, effective support to the litigation teams.

Kristine’s previous experience includes roles as an e-discovery project attorney and review manager; working in family law and personal injury at a boutique law firm; supporting an environmental lobbying nonprofit; and performing tax analysis and providing publishable online content for a legal services company. This diverse background continues to provide valuable context and perspective to her work today.

Outside the Office

These days I’m really into reading books that deep dive into single topics, otherwise known as ‘microhistories.’ I appreciate the rich broader context they provide, of time and place and the surrounding circumstances.
