By incorporating real-world case studies, the conference ensures attendees gain practical, actionable knowledge, making it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in eDiscovery, whether they are responding to immediate legal demands or strategically preparing for future challenges.
The Realm of eDiscovery
The realm of eDiscovery (Electronic Discovery) encompasses both reactive and proactive approaches, each addressing different needs and stages of legal and compliance processes.
Reactive eDiscovery:
This approach typically comes into play after a legal event, such as a lawsuit or regulatory investigation, has occurred. The focus is on responding efficiently and effectively to discovery requests, which involves identifying, collecting, preserving, reviewing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI). The reactive side is often characterized by tight deadlines, potential for high-stress situations, and the necessity to sift through vast amounts of data to find relevant information.
Proactive eDiscovery:
In contrast, proactive eDiscovery involves preparing for potential litigation or investigations before they occur. This approach includes implementing information governance policies, regular data audits, and training employees on data management and legal hold procedures. Proactive eDiscovery aims to minimize risks and costs associated with future litigation by maintaining good data hygiene and preparedness.
The Master's Conference Serving Both Sides:
