About
Recent high profile cases have made it abundantly clear that the millions of e-mail messages and other corporate communications that flow through today's organizations are ticking time-bombs.
Reducing the chances that those bombs will explode and ensuring that documents are appropriately handled has become a most critical-and complex-challenge for today's corporate counsel. Whether the blow-up comes from discovery, inappropriate destruction or another avenue, in-house counsel and their advisors must know how to go on the offensive to prevent the criminal and civil penalties and negative publicity that can result. Perhaps more importantly, counsel must be prepared to protect the organization from e-discovery fishing expeditions.
The American Conference Institute's publication will provide you with invaluable information and advice on:
•Developing and implementing an effective corporate document retention policy
•Protecting the privacy of electronic documentation
•Minimizing the risk of creating a bad document
•The newest legal developments in document retention and e-discovery
•Strategically using e-discovery to gain a tactical advantage
