Description
The volume of electronically stored information (ESI) has grown exponentially over the past several years as almost all data is stored electronically. Because all industries rely on electronic records and communications, the collection, preservation and destruction of ESI require careful planning.
As relevant ESI is stored in a variety of locations and forms, businesses and their legal advisors face the challenge of collecting and reviewing electronic evidence in the event of litigation or a government or internal investigation.
Electronic discovery can be incredibly costly, so counsel face the dual challenge of managing that expense while complying with the amended federal rule requirements to avoid court sanctions.
Listen as our authoritative panel of experienced litigation attorneys offers their perspectives and guidance on electronic document review, including controlling costs and planning for production, search and retrieval of electronic documents.
