Join us for a seminar as we explore practical issues concerning electronic discovery and document retention. Learn more about:

• Extraordinary sanctions resulting from e-discovery issues, including a $1.45 billion jury award following an adverse jury instruction for “thwarting” e-mail discovery.
• Reasons why paper-based document retention policies and discovery practices are dangerously limited.
• Preservation obligations, when they arise, and what you need to do to comply and avoid sanctions.
• Implications for document retention policies, taking into account all sources of electronically-stored information and planning for automated preservation efforts.
• Practical issues for discovery, including sources and accessibility of potentially relevant information.
• Proposed amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that focus on electronically stored information.
