Speaker:
Jack Halprin, Esq.
VP of eDiscovery and Compliance Autonomy
Best practices and technology for eDiscovery are rapidly advancing. What was state of the art yesterday may no longer be a defensible process today. At the same time, both corporate and outside counsel are dealing with increasing volumes of data, rising litigation costs and shrinking budgets.
The challenge is to manage eDiscovery in a cost-effective and defensible process that will avoid sanctions and meet the ever evolving standard of reasonableness.

Feb 24/Seattle: Information Technology Act of India
