In recent years, the trend has been to use electronic discovery reactively.
Companies have only addressed what electronically stored information
(“ESI”) they possess after being threatened with litigation. That focus is
now changing.With the realization that early assessment and preparation is the key to
not reinventing the wheel in every instance where litigation is threatened,
companies are now readdressing the way in which they address electronic
information. Being proactive is the name of the game. Is your company
– or that of your clients – lagging behind? Knowing what data exists and
where to fi nd it will save time and money in the event of litigation.
Starting with an analysis of newsworthy cases that went wrong, our experts
will delve deep into how to establish comprehensive records management
policies, retention schedules, and legal hold policies and procedures. The
workshop faculty will also offer guidance on instituting training programs
within corporations, introduce emerging technologies and offer tips
on compliance and monitoring. Of course, no discussion of litigation
preparedness would be complete without mention of document search,
collection, process, review and production and how these steps fi t within
early assessment and planning. If you are in any way involved in early case
assessment, electronic discovery or the retention of electronic information,
or you are advising clients on these issues, you can’t afford to miss this new
event!
