This article discusses tips to ensure that a document retention policy protects your company in the case of litigation, is compliant with current laws, and is cost-effective.

In this session, we will discuss the importance of data compliance and retention, effective ways to assess risk, and practical discovery when dealing with ephemeral messaging apps (Teams, WhatsApp etc.).

Email is increasingly getting replaced and supplemented by various messaging applications, some with disappearing messaging, that do not reside on network servers, and do not have archives controlled by the organization. With no relative permanence or search-ability, numerous issues arise for employers, especially with eDiscovery and litigation.

According to the 2023 ACC Chief Legal Officers Survey, data security and privacy are among the most pressing issues currently faced by corporate legal departments.  At the same time, e-discovery is taking up an outsized share of litigation expenses, and we are now encountering new generative artificial intelligence that has the potential to reshape the ways companies do business—but that comes with its own set of legal and data concerns.  This program will discuss these challenges—and offer concrete suggestions for how to limit or eliminate some of the greatest legal risks.

Program:   3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

Networking Reception: 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

In response, many companies took action, such as banning or restricting access, or creating ChatGPT data disclosure policies. This resource from Seyfarth and Shaw discusses the implications of ChatGPT on trade secrets, disclosures, and provides key takeaways to consider with AI tools.
