Modern corporations are relying upon innovative new data repositories, including cloud platforms, with increasing frequency to manage their electronic information. While these platforms offer increased operational efficiencies, they create preservation and collection difficulties when the corporation reasonably anticipates a litigation or governmental investigation. Traditional forensics tools struggle to collect effectively from cutting-edge environments, exposing the corporation and its attorneys to potential liability for failure to preserve. This panel of leading litigators, technology lawyers and forensic experts will discuss these challenges and how emerging forensic tools and workflows can help alleviate the pain. Show less

This roundtable discussion, featuring technical security experts and in-house counsel, will explore the mindset of hackers. The following questions will be addressed: What do hackers look for to hack information systems? How can attorneys best communicate these principles and risk areas to upper management? What are best practices for developing internal policies and procedures that prevent and address hacking?

In today’s “big data” environment, the greatest obstacle to an efficient and streamlined investigation or dispute resolution process is often the sheer volume of potentially relevant electronic documents. In a typical case or investigation, the costs of collecting, processing and reviewing electronic documents often accounts for 60% – 70% of a company’s total legal spend. An effective and reliable early analysis of the merits often cannot occur until that process is complete (and thus until the… Show more

In today’s “big data” environment, the greatest obstacle to an efficient and streamlined investigation or dispute resolution process is often the sheer volume of potentially relevant electronic documents. In a typical case or investigation, the costs of collecting, processing and reviewing electronic documents often accounts for 60% – 70% of a company’s total legal spend. An effective and reliable early analysis of the merits often cannot occur until that process is complete (and thus until the client has already incurred substantial costs). Fortunately, sophisticated data analytics tools are now available to quickly separate the digital wheat from the chaff and identify the most relevant documents for efficient case assessment and planning purposes. This panel of private practitioners and data analytics specialists will discuss the power and potential of such tools, referencing a series of real-world case studies. Show less

This webinar takes an in-depth look at the costs and risks associated with the “save everything” data approach, and outlines how businesses can use data disposition planning to create a customized roadmap for data retention, taking into account their industry, operational requirements, regulatory environment, resources, and risk tolerance.

This document is a concise guideline offered by the NY City Bar Association. It is not a checklist of required procedures.

Panelist for CLE event moderated by the Hon. Eileen Bransten, New York State Supreme Court, Commercial Division. Topics covered included how the duty of competence manifests in the context of E-Discovery, the fundamentals of electronic discovery and measures that small law firms and solo practitioners can take to control the costs and burdens involved.

Think globally, act locally. From cross-border litigation to information governance, e-discovery trends for the year ahead include embracing data visualization and finding better ways to manage all that mobile data.

This discussion takes the audience through the ups and downs that our panel of experts have faced in the past two months while conducting entirely remote depositions. As well as offering a high-level review of TLS’s capabilities, we discuss common troubleshooting issues and what we are doing to solve them, in addition to successful best practices. Throughout the webinar, our moderator also presents questions to the panel for their experienced feedback.

TLS depositions experts address the workflow and experience of conducting a remote deposition. The discussion details the lifecycle of a remote deposition, how all participants can connect to the remote deposition platform, how to mute your camera/audio, how to present and annotate exhibits, how to view your reporter’s streaming real-time, how to utilize the chat feature, and more.

Courts and bar associations across the country have recognized that in order to satisfy the ethical duty of competence, supervision, and confidentiality, attorneys involved in litigation must have a sufficient understanding of legal technology—in particular, the recurring issues that arise in electronic discovery. Counsel must be able to advise their clients and engage their adversaries effectively concerning the preservation, collection, processing, and review of electronically stored… Show more

Courts and bar associations across the country have recognized that in order to satisfy the ethical duty of competence, supervision, and confidentiality, attorneys involved in litigation must have a sufficient understanding of legal technology—in particular, the recurring issues that arise in electronic discovery. Counsel must be able to advise their clients and engage their adversaries effectively concerning the preservation, collection, processing, and review of electronically stored information. In this program, two experienced litigators and e-discovery professionals discuss how these duties of professional responsibility manifest in the context of e-discovery, review the fundamentals of electronic discovery, and address measures that practitioners can take to control the costs and burdens involved.

The popularity and usage of mobile device applications and cloud-based collaboration and storage platforms has grown immensely in recent years in large and small businesses alike. The ability to connect a workforce through collaborative software has helped increase operational efficiency, organization, and scalability. At the same time, an adverse relationship with legal discovery has occurred; these applications and systems are usually cloud-based, cannot be collected with traditional forensic tools, and often export data in formats that are problematic for discovery review platforms. Furthermore, many of these platforms are ephemeral by design, meaning that data retention is challenging (at best) or impossible (at worst).

This webinar recording discusses advanced approaches to forensic data collections and document review of data from mobile device and cloud platforms. Topics we will cover include defensible mobile device acquisition, mobile device legal review options, ephemeral messaging applications, and how to defensibly obtain data from cloud-based platforms like Slack, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, Zendesk and more.
