Event Synopsis:

eDiscovery as a rapidly evolving topic remains critically important to attorneys and companies. Gone are the days of simple mining emails for information during the discovery process. Data has gone viral and it has crossed borders. Companies are communicating internally and externally via a myriad of social networks/data services and the data is getting picked up automatically by all sorts of data mining robots and sent to all corners of the globe. Firms are migrating significant portions of their IT network and databases in the cloud. What was once a simple process has now become infinitely more complicated. Clearly a new eDiscovery strategy is needed to prevail in this challenging environment.

The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key experts to help you make sense of the latest critical issues with respect to eDiscovery. The speakers will also discuss in a two-hour Live Webcast how today’s eDiscovery attorneys should treat technology in terms of the following:

• Social media
• Cloud computing
• Cross Border
• Disclosure
