History
Jim Feuerstein spent most of his career running the company he founded in the early 1980s, J. Feuerstein Systems (JFS).
JFS was initially a litigation consulting firm that specialized in massive litigation. The firm's clients were Fortune 100 companies and the law firms that represented them. The projects the firm undertook related primarily to cases with exposure in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
In those cases, Jim worked with clients to define information strategies and to design and build information systems to implement those strategies.
In the early 1990s, Jim created JFS Litigator's Notebook™, a software product that enabled teams of litigators to share electronic "ring binders" of discovery information and work product. These electronic notebooks could be shared by lawyers in multiple locations.
As the Notebook became commercially successful in both the U.S. and the U.K., JFS gradually converted to a software company and Jim sold the business in 1994.
After leaving JFS, Jim consulted in a variety of areas, including technology, litigation information management, and business development. In 2003, he joined with Jane Gennarelli to form Magellan's Law.
