The federal e-discovery rules amendments require businesses to implement procedures for the retention, destruction, and management of confidential information, including employee records. Several cases over the past year have illustrated the costly dangers of failing to comply.
The highly sensitive and confidential nature of employee records adds yet another layer of concern for businesses with regard to document management for investigations and litigation.
Are you confident that your systems and procedures not only meet the demands of the discovery rules but also of state and federal employment and privacy laws?
Listen as our authoritative panel of employment litigators and e-discovery specialists reviews the rules amendments and how they impact the preservation and production of sensitive employment information. The panel will offer their experiences and perspectives on best practices for e-discovery compliance.
The panel included:
Mary Price Birk, Partner, Baker Hostetler, Denver. She is Co-Chair of the firm's National Employment Litigation Practice Team. She represents employers before administrative agencies and state and federal courts in matters involving e-discovery.
Paul D. Weiner, Shareholder, Littler Mendelson, Philadelphia. He serves as the firm's National E-Discovery Counsel, providing guidance and expertise on e-discovery and knowledge management matters to the firm's lawyers and clients.
Danuta B. Panich, Shareholder, Ogletree Deakins, Indianapolis. She advises and advocates for employers in all aspects of employment and labor law. She also advises clients and their litigation counsel on electronic discovery issues.
The panel will reviewed these and other key questions:
- How have the e-discovery amendments eased — and increased — information management challenges for employers?
- How should employers manage email communications containing confidential employee information?
- What strategies can employees pursue to discover an employer's internal investigation reports?
- How have recent decisions changed best practices for document retention policies?
- What do employers and employees need to understand about digital evidence, like metadata and other hidden data?
