E-Discovery Teleconference: A Senior Management Briefing

 

Summary

 

 E-discovery has become quite a bit more complicated for in-house Counsel as the result of recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (In effect as of December 1, 2006) and the expanded growth of discovery as it related to email and data. The new regulations make e-discovery more time consuming and costly, however failure to comply could result in huge sanctions.


The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel to help make sense of this important change and how to best position your firm
