Gain the Upper Hand! Webinar

E-Discovery as a Strategic Advantage

The consensus among corporate counsel is that federal and state rules dealing with electronically stored information have complicated the discovery process, and have created a greater burden and increased the associated costs to parties in litigation. Practical experience indicates, however, that these results are most often attributable to the improper interpretation and application of the rules. Electronic discovery is a techno-legal challenge that can only be addressed by an understanding of how the law and technology intersect. In fact, the proper application of the rules provides a real opportunity to gain a strategic advantage that will effectively mitigate risk, control costs and put your opponent on the defensive.

Join Paul Neale (President of DOAR Litigation Consulting and a nationally-recognized expert on electronic discovery) and Joel Mitnick (litigation partner and co-chair of the E-Discovery Task Force at Sidley Austin LLP) for a practical discussion of how the law and technology intersect and how the proper application of the rules can address the techno-legal challenges of electronic discovery. The webinar will cover the following topics:

• Presenting & Demanding Initial Disclosures


• Defining the Scope of Potentially Relevant Information


• Negotiating the Form of Production


• Alternatives to Document Review

Electronic discovery is a factor in any legal proceeding. Learn how to avoid being put on the defensive by using practical approaches that will give you the upper hand.
