Increasingly, non-email communications make up critical evidence in modern litigation. Text messaging and social media are used regularly by case participants and witnesses in addition to traditional email. Companies are supporting instant messaging and other collaborative applications in addition to email for internal communications.
With hundreds of billions of emails exchanging hands daily, each with its own unique metadata, container folder and possible attachments to examine, special consideration must be given to email at every stage of eDiscovery. Litigators and paralegals must effectively review ESI (Electronically Stored Information) during production, and great care must be taken to avoid producing confidential information.
Approaching mobile collection with conventional methods can result in run-away eDiscovery costs, lost data and the careless oversight of evidence. Traditional collection methods, including discovery orders, have not evolved to include the unique file structure and ESI channels that exist in mobile devices.
Preventing the inadvertent disclosure of privileged information in litigation is increasingly challenging. Technological advancements have ushered in varying mediums of information storage and exchange, that thoroughly document privileged communications. This requires additional review resources to protect confidentiality and privilege.
With multiple terabytes of ESI, numerous data custodians and technical expertise required, attorneys litigating a patent or trade secret claim face unique eDiscovery challenges.
As the size of document collections continue to explode, finding the evidence needle in the electronically stored information (ESI) haystack is more challenging than ever. Understanding the latest tools, indexing techniques, and features associated with eDiscovery search will allow you to conduct a highly effective review while still delivering your production on time.
Decisions made early in the collection, processing and review of your data will have ramifications that carry through the remainder of your case. Accordingly, making informed choices is critical to achieving timeline, evidentiary and budget goals. This webinar will highlight these pivotal decisions and provide you with best practices that will help you avoid unintended consequences and dramatically improve your eDiscovery results.
Vast volumes of digital evidence continue to grow as more devices and digital channels of communication generate electronically stored information. The resulting growth of precise and objective probative evidence has dramatically impacted the legal landscape and requires that lawyers be equipped with the knowledge of how to handle these dynamic data sets in order to succeed in complex litigation.
Time is of the essence once the duty to preserve electronically stored information (ESI) arises. Failure to preserve can lead to loss of evidence, increased costs, and even sanctions. Unfortunately, lack of technical expertise and improper planning can have disastrous consequences, including spoliation claims.
Legal finance plays an increasingly common role in high-stakes commercial litigation. No longer merely a tool of necessity for cash-strapped claimants, financing is used by sophisticated lawyers and their clients as a more efficient way to manage the cost and risk of both plaintiff and defense matters while also unlocking working capital for the firm or business.
Social media has allowed individuals and businesses to communicate in new, unprecedented ways. Not surprisingly, it can be the most important evidence in your case. But identification, collection, authentication, admissibility and ethics rules require special consideration.
Leveraging hold notices, ESI protocols, meet and confer, and other opportunities obtain the evidence needed to successfully build a case. Trial lawyers often represent the primary requesting party for document-complex discovery and litigation. Increasingly, this can overwhelm how they traditionally have reviewed productions and marshalled potential evidence.
The promise of high utility applications in the eDiscovery space, particularly AI, has opened up new possibilities and fueled expectations about the speed, accuracy and efficiency of performing evidentiary review.
Mobile devices are everywhere. Within the last decade or so, smart phones have become not only a staple in our society, but arguably a necessity. There are two major players in the smartphone game, Android and Apple.

eDiscovery is continuously evolving with each new year adding layers of complexity. Beyond the exponential year-over-year growth of Electronically Stored Information (ESI), the sources of ESI continue to diversify. Attorneys failing to stay up to date on the quickly evolving landscape risk missing evidence, wasting money and losing cases. This webinar provides an overview of the new and emerging challenges lawyers will face in 2020 as well as describing solutions for those willing to stay ahead of the curve.
Increasingly lawyers are taking advantage of technology to practice in specialized boutique and smaller firm environments. But the rapidly growing size of collections of electronically stored information (ESI) presents an increasingly difficult challenge: How to effectively manage these resource-hungry cases without large firm support?
The 12th annual Law Department Operations (LDO) survey found that effective use of technology in law departments has been slow to accelerate. Artificial intelligence has been wildly growing among several markets, but is just beginning to saturate the legal market–however, it is expected to continue.
The ABA LTRC has a resource chart available to members and non-members that compares major eDiscovery providers on the market as a resource for attorneys. The detailed categories include general description, product/license pricing with target market firm size, software compatibility, presentation features, OS compatibility, searching/language support and technical support.
Plaintiffs face unique challenges when conducting discovery. A central difference is asynchronous data; plaintiffs must focus on accessing often complex document collections in the hands of defendants and third parties. More data to review and more complicated data types increasingly can overwhelm how attorneys traditionally have requested and reviewed productions and marshaled evidence.
