Data Mapping and Litigation Preparation
Best Practices to Navigate Discovery and Track Electronically Stored Information
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A
Conducted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Recorded event now available
This seminar will examine how to create and use data mapping, among other tools, to manage and reduce costs involved with electronically stored information in litigation and discovery preparation.
Description
The recent federal rules amendments require litigants and counsel to identify all electronically stored information (ESI) and its location during early stages of litigation. To comply with the rules, counsel must become well acquainted with a client’s ESI terrain.
A data map is a key tool to meet these new requirements. A well planned map allows a company and its counsel to determine which ESI to retain and for how long. It also gives counsel information needed to demonstrate to a court when certain ESI is too difficult or costly to access.
Counsel's inability to comply in a timely and efficient manner with these rules carries substantial consequences: higher discovery costs, penalties and possible sanctions. Data mapping and other pre-litigation steps can transform the challenge into an opportunity to improve ESI management.
Listen as our authoritative panel examines what counsel and parties can do to reduce the burden of discovery time and costs by using data mapping and other e-discovery strategies.
