Chris Paskach, Partner at KPMG LLP Forensic Technology, A Well-Known Expert on E-Discovery to Speak at KC’s Teleconference on "New Regulatory Changes in the E-Discovery"
New York, NY, January 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused teleconferences, has announced today that Chris Paskach, National Partner-In-Charge of the Forensic Technology Services practice for KPMG and a nationally known expert and a thought leader on E-Discovery issues will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming teleconference on “New Regulatory Changes in the E-Discovery". This two-hour event is scheduled on February 27, 2007 at 1:00 PM ET.
The Business of E-discovey has become quite a bit more complicated for in-house Counsel as the result of recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (in effect as of December 1, 2006) and the expanded growth of discovery as it related to email and data. The new regulations make e-discovery more time consuming and costly, however failure to comply could result in huge sanctions. The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of experts to present their findings and analyze this critical legislation, which include a "best practice" panel at this comprehensive two-hour teleconference.
