Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC San DiegoNavigating Documentation, Litigation Readiness, Privilege, and Ethics in the Digital Age
This webinar delivers actionable guidance on when and how to document internal communications while maintaining ethical standards and considering litigation risks. Through analysis of real-world examples of record-keeping errors, including ethical dilemmas, the session explores challenges unique to Teams messages, texting, social media, and AI-generated content.
Attendees will also examine the critical intersections among record-keeping, litigation holds, attorney-client privilege, and the ethical obligations of legal professionals, empowering California counsel to protect their organizations, ensure compliance, and uphold the highest standards of practice.
Why This Matters Now:
Regulators and courts are raising expectations around digital record-keeping—what was once “informal” (texts, Teams chats, Slack, AI outputs) is now routinely discoverable.
Spoliation sanctions and adverse inferences are increasing, often tied to everyday communication tools, not just formal documents.
AI-generated content is creating new gray areas around authorship, accuracy, and privilege that most legal teams are not yet equipped to manage.
This program is designed specifically for in-house counsel balancing legal risk with business speed. It is ideal for those overseeing compliance, litigation, employment, privacy, or corporate governance, and especially valuable for teams navigating hybrid work environments and digital-first communication.
