March 11th — free webinar: “Why sound project management is critical to the success of eDiscovery” (with Maura R. Grossman) Wednesday, 10 March 2010

 

    Sound project management is vital to any eDiscovery matter.  Without it, data can be overlooked, budgets overrun, deadlines missed, and defensibility compromised.   To ensure that your eDiscovery matter is managed properly, you need more than just a good project manager; you need a well thought-out process that incorporates quality assessment and control.

To find out how ways you can streamline the eDiscovery process, avoid missed deadlines,  and minimize the potential for costly errors and challenges by opposing counsel, please join LDMglobal for a webinar on “The Keys to eDiscovery Project Management”.

The webinar will be held Thursday March 11th at 11:00 AM EST, 4:00 PM GMT, and will feature Maura R. Grossman, Counsel at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. 

LDM Global is a company we know well.  It provides services to some of the world’s largest companies.   They have an enormous footprint in the pharmaceutical industry vis-a-vis e-discovery work.   We have been working with them in both the U.S. and in Europe in their search for project managers.   They “get it” as far as the fact that different countries and courts require different formats and strategies for crafting responses.   We met their team at LegalTech New York this year, and we are meeting them again in a few weeks in London.   They have great resources in all aspects of discovery, from regulatory compliance to complex litigation support.

Maura Grossman is a member of The Sedona Conference® Working Groups on Best Practices for Electronic Document Retention and Production, and on International Electronic Information Management, Discovery, and Disclosure.  She assisted in drafting and editing The Sedona Conference® Commentary on Achieving Quality in the E-Discovery Process (May 2009).

This past fall The Posse List saw Maura give a brilliant presentation on the challenges of search at the Georgetown Law Advanced E-Discovery Institute (click here).  She is on the faculty of the Georgetown Law E-Discovery Training Academy where this year she gave a presentation on the mapping of the steps of the e-discovery process, an exploration of the full spectrum of procedures and strategies that might occur during the e-discovery process.

Maura is a powerhouse in the e-discovery world and this event will be well-worth attending..

March 11th webinar: “Privilege Logs: How to create them, and how to avoid them” Wednesday, 10 March 2010

On Thursday, March 11th, at 1:00pm Catalyst is sponsoring a webinar discussion exploring recent e-discovery trends regarding privileged documents, including the Facciola-Redgrave protocol for privilege analysis and best practices for creating privilege logs.

This presentation will include:

* Analysis of key aspects of the Facciola-Redgrave Framework for avoiding a document-by-document privilege review. 

* Assessment of ways to integrate enhanced privilege search and culling into your e-discovery strategy;

*  Review of key elements of privilege reporting and practices to document effectively.

To register for the program  click here.

There has been much discussion about privilege, how the volume of information produced by electronic discovery has made the process of reviewing that information, to ascertain whether any of it is privileged from disclosure, so expensive that the result of the lawsuit may be a function of who can afford it.    Judge Facciola and  Jonathan Redgrave  (cochair of the Georgetown Law Advanced E-Discovery Institute and a partner with Nixon Peabody) published an article in the Federal Court Law Review which presents “The Facciola-Redgrave Framework”.   

They submit that the majority of cases should reject the traditional document-by-document privilege log in favor of a new approach that is premised on counsel’s cooperation supervised by early, careful, and rigorous judicial involvement.  That cooperation, having first led to an agreement as to what categories of information will be eliminated from any privilege review because the information is so clearly not privileged or so clearly privileged, will then focus on categorization of the information that must be reviewed.

The article in the Federal Court Law Review can be accessed here.

March 18th: live seminar in NYC — Morgan Lewis/Recommind : Using advanced technology to achieve consistent, timely, and cost-effective eDiscovery responses Wednesday, 10 March 2010

                      

The Morgan Lewis eData team and Recommind are sponsoring what looks to be a very informative live seminar on March 18th (next Thursday) at 4:00pm in the New York offices of Morgan Lewis.   The seminar will focus on successfully leveraging technology to improve early case assessment (ECA), preservation, collection, and document review.

For the Morgan Lewis team:  Stephanie “Tess” Blair and Denise Backhouse

For Recommind:  Craig Carpenter

Both Morgan Lewis and Recommind are powerhouses in the e-discovery area.   Morgan Lewis and Tess Blair (a partner in Morgan Lewis’s Litigation Practice and leader of the firm’s eData Practice) were doing e-discovery before it had a name.   And Recommind and Craig Carpenter (Vice President of Marketing for Recommind who oversees all aspects of marketing at Recommind) have become the leaders in search-powered information risk management (IRM).

We profiled Tess, Denise and Morgan Lewis in an extensive interview (click here for the full interview), as well as Craig Carpenter and Recommind (click here for the full interview).

Seats for the seminar are limited so reserve as soon as possible.  To register click here.

This seminar will provide best practices and guidance for complex litigation and regulatory investigation responses. Get a firsthand look at customer case studies that demonstrate the power of sophisticated techniques such as concept grouping, advanced analytics, pre-collection ECA, and computer-generated review (i.e., Predictive Coding™).

How Scary is Electronic Discovery? Wednesday, 10 March 2010

Yesterday, John and I had the pleasure of presenting a CLE on Ethics and E-Discovery to the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. In the raft of kind remarks proffered after the seminar, it struck us both that the word "scared" kept cropping up.

No doubt it is scary to hear that lawyers (not just clients) are being sanctioned by the courts for incompetence or malfeasance relating to electronic discovery. But it is also true that lawyers are just beginning to realize how much they don't know about such things as litigation holds, preservation notices, search methodologies, sampling, production formats, etc. While we try to educate and not to scare, I guess we understand why the education, in and of itself, can be pretty frightening to attorneys unaccustomed to electronic discovery.

The crown jewel of unusual compliments came when we encountered a lawyer coming out of the rest room. After telling us how much he enjoyed our "scary" presentation, he concluded by saying "That's why I was in the bathroom - I had to change my underwear."

That's one we'll always remember. :-)

Featured e-Discovery Blog (sort of): DocReview.US Wednesday, 10 March 2010


Last post from the DocReview.us Blog

Ok, this is not so much an e-discovery blog, despite the title of “DocReview.”  But, I must admit, I like the effort this person has put into his or her into this. The blog is full of videos with contentious and controversial legal issues, stories, and questions.  Please check the DocReview.us site when you get a chance as well.
