But how can a small law department determine the best records retention policy and then manage the records to efficiently respond to the inevitable ediscovery request?

In today’s complex and ever growing global business landscape, the need for highly qualified in-house attorneys to support international operations is becoming increasingly more critical. This need is accentuated by the sobering reality that US-based companies face growing compliance issues beyond their jurisdictional borders.

All of these and other factors may create a legal minefield for your organization when it comes to dealing with protected older workers.
