In this session, we will discuss how to tackle the new way in which the legal community conducts data management, litigation preparedness, and document review. As data continues to grow in volume and complexity, strong strategic management of data prior to a legal event is increasingly important; corporations demand cost-effective and defensible methods to achieve efficiency, accuracy and insight into the data informing their legal matter.

  • The Way we Organize – or don’t Organize – Our Data
  • The Tools of Data Organization
  • Traditional Document Review
  • Analytics and Machine Learning-driven review

 

Prosecuting or defending a broad range of matters can often turn on evidence that lawyers often don’t realize exists. Matters involving trade secrets, employee theft, family law, workplace harassment, noncompete clauses (among others) can hinge on the recovery of deleted data, data on mobile devices, or other ephemeral sources (social media, for example). Join us to learn about what types of evidence can be uncovered; how to defensibly and efficiently preserve the data; and how to analyze the data to your competitive advantage.
