Virginia Jo Dunlap, Esq. , Sr. Legal SME Consultant

Virginia Jo Dunlap brings nearly two decades of legal and business experience to providing client solutions to the current issues in electronic storage of information (ESI). Most recently she has been providing legal subject matter expertise to both the AIIM and ISO efforts to describe best practices in the US involving a “trusted system” for storing ESI.

Ms. Dunlap first confronted ESI issues as a litigator when she headed the Enforcement Division of the California securities department nearly a decade ago. She pioneered investigations focused almost exclusively on ESI, developing methods for analyzing whether all available information subpoenaed had been produced and organizing effective content management of hundreds of thousands of documents.

In the private sector as a General Counsel for a non-profit and more recently as a Global Operational Risk Manager for a large international consulting firm, Ms. Dunlap continued to handle issues involving ESI. She provided her C-suite team members with assessment of the existing systems and recommendations on changes to the processes and procedures necessary to more effectively address ESI solutions. Because of her unique positioning as both a legal and business adviser, Ms. Dunlap’s solutions considered both the legal and business risks, as well as the non-tangible impacts to the organization such as the potential effects of any change management process necessary to implement the solutions.

Ms. Dunlap is a 1989 graduate of University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law (J.D. magna cum laude) and the University of Nevada (B.A. in Journalism 1983).
