Recent legal trends regarding e-discovery and dramatic shifts in the law regarding record retention policies have companies floundering. What guidance do you follow particularly when litigation is involved? Learn the status of the law and the no-nonsense solutions and best practices from your peers for how to deal with this hot issue including setting guidelines, understanding what is reasonable and what isn't, implementing processes for archiving data, and much more.

What does a sensible company do about document retention? This question is on the minds of corporate practitioners around the world as recent legal developments have put these corporate policies in the spotlight. Join your peers to learn what you should keep, what you can happily destroy, policies on saving emails and other strategic retention procedures.

Recent cases have made the news, even gone all the way to the Supreme Court, about what must be kept, what can be shredded, and when. Discovery orders during litigation and government investigations complicate the issue. We all know some of the theory, but hear from our experts some practical tips about how to develop, implement and maintain an effective recordkeeping policy and how to comply with the growing burden of record retention.

Whether you think of yourself as a litigator, a regulatory specialist, or a transactional lawyer, as a legal manager you will deal with litigation. Because the costs can be so high, many CEOs and other business managers measure the effectiveness of the law department based on how well the department manages litigation. Learn about the latest issues in managing litigation, to help your company achieve the desired result at the right cost.

Prosecutors call it "three hots and a cot." Others call it "Club Fed." No matter what it’s called, today’s prosecutorial zeal often has one common goal: corporate officers leaving the executive suite for an eight by ten cell. The risks of running a business in today’s environment are far greater than the already formidable downside of potential business failure, and even unintentional missteps can result in a costly investigation, an enforcement proceeding, or a criminal indictment.
