Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Western PennsylvaniaThe technology and law in this area are rapidly evolving and not every lawyer can be an “expert” on e-discovery. There is a lot to know – some of it highly technical. By the same token, blind reliance on outside counsel and/or discovery companies to protect company interests—or the litigation budget—can be a costly mistake.
Here are essential tips for in-house lawyers and other legal professionals who are involved in the e-discovery process. This course will cover:
• Processes that your company should consider handling in-house, where outside counsel can help, and when to engage e-discovery providers;
• The critical steps to take as soon as claims or investigations are initiated and anticipated;
• The questions you should be asking—and instructions you should be giving—your outside counsel and e-discovery companies;
• How to turn e-discovery from a potential liability and pure cost center into a litigation advantage;
• The most common e-discovery mistakes that can cost you big – in dealing with adversaries, as well as your own internal and external teams; and
• What you should be doing NOW to make sure that your company is “litigation ready” in advance of future claims or investigations.
If you only have an hour to learn what you need to know about e-discovery, this is where you should invest it!
