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.
The panel included:
Todd L. Nunn, Partner, K&L Gates, Seattle. He is a member of the firm's E-Discovery Analysis and Technology Group (E-DAT) and advises clients on e-discovery issues, document preservation and discovery response planning.
Robert Brownstone, Law and Technology Director, Fenwick & West, Mountain View, Calif. He advises clients on electronic discovery, on electronic information management and on retention/destruction policies and protocols. He also collaborates with clients as to computer solutions enabling compliance with legal obligations.
Carolyn Southerland, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group, Houston. She has more than 20 years experience as a commercial litigator and has extensive experience in developing processes and strategies in the electronic discovery arena. She establishes procedures for gathering electronic data, searching and culling the data, structuring online databases, and managing the review and production of electronically stored information.
The panel reviewed these and other key questions:
- What are the primary considerations for counsel before conducting an electronic document review?
- What are the key steps in planning for production of electronic evidence?
- What IT issues must every attorney understand in developing an approach to ESI search and retrieval?
- What are best practices for implementing an electronic document review?
