• • Getting it Right the First Time: Training and Certification in Predictive Coding

  • May 8, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Recommind
  • The popularity of Predictive Coding has skyrocketed over the past year, not only in light of recent court endorsements of computer-assisted document review but also because this technology has been proven time and again to dramatically improve efficiency and accuracy. Therefore, it is vital that law firms and their clients be educated about the predictive coding process and how it can be best applied, so that it becomes easier for those in the legal industry to take advantage of its game-changing efficiency.

• • Breaking the Stranglehold of Traditional eDiscovery Review

  • April 24, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Autonomy
  • Technology Assisted Review is making eDiscovery smarter and more efficient. Meaning Based Coding and similar predictive technologies are enabling attorneys to break the stranglehold of large scale manual review. Studies from the Sedona Group, TREC Legal Track and others have demonstrated that compared with tradition manual review, Technology Assisted Review can yield higher quality and be far more cost-effective. But while the drive to more intelligently manage the large information volumes common to eDiscovery is inevitable, many attorneys require a firmer understanding of the meaning-based technologies involved, the processes to be followed, and the defensibility of these approaches.

• • If You Don’t Need it, Delete it – Best Practices for a Defensible Deletion Program

  • April 18, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Nuix
  • For many years, organizations have followed the advice of their consultants and lawyers and kept all their data, often beyond the mandated retention period. But with data volumes growing to hundreds of terabytes – or even petabytes – this is no longer an option. The financial and time costs of maintaining storage systems for so much data are prohibitive. In addition, much of this data is unknown, posing significant business risks and adding to the time and expense of discovery or investigation exercises. Defensible deletion allows organizations to identify, categorize and manage all their data across multiple geographical locations, applications and storage and archive systems. With this knowledge, an organization can delete any data that has no business value or legal hold requirements. Deleting unneeded data allows organizations to reduce storage management costs, speed up discovery and investigations, switch off obsolete storage systems and tame the Big Data beast. Join information governance thought leaders for a step-by-step guide to developing and implementing a defensible deletion program for your organization.

• • Is Keyword Search in eDiscovery Dead?

  • March 20, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Symantec
  • The value of keyword search in electronic discovery has been maligned in favor of other technology tools in recent years, leaving some to wonder whether or not keyword search technology (aka Boolean searching) can still be part of a defensible eDiscovery process. Some believe technology-assisted-review (TAR) should replace keyword search methodologies, others believe it should serve as a supplement, and still others don’t quite understand what TAR means. Please join attorneys and eDiscovery thought leaders Ralph Losey and Matthew Nelson for a discussion about the viability of using keyword search technology in electronic discovery as well as the evolution of other TAR tools.

• • Out of the Shadow of China: A Focus on Southeast Asian Emerging Markets

  • March 13, 2012 at 2:30 pm ET
  • Sponsored by PwC
  • This webcast will discuss the conditions that have made this region the focus of increased investor attention and the areas of opportunities in the region. Discussions will also include the risks associated with these opportunities, operating models employed, as well as operating conditions when doing business in Southeast Asia. Risk areas for discussion will also include key legal and compliance areas, including corruption matters, third party and business partner diligence, M&A risks, and intellectual property concerns.

• • Advice from Counsel: An Inside Look at Streamlining E-Discovery Programs

  • March 7, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by FTI Technology
  • For the third consecutive year, Ari Kaplan of Ari Kaplan Advisors surveyed corporate counsel of Fortune 1000 companies, asking their advice for implementing cost-effective and defensible e-discovery programs. From tips for companies just beginning to develop their e-discovery programs to outlining their process dealing with multinational litigation or investigations, the feedback was varied and covered a wide range of topics. Although it’s clear that each corporate environment requires a customized approach, legal leaders can evaluate the advice given in relation to their own e-discovery requirements which may ultimately lead to cost savings and efficiency gains.

• • Interact & Govern Your Corporate Data Wherever It Lives: Bringing archiving and information governance together

  • February 29, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Proofpoint
  • Organizations invest valuable time and resources creating infrastructure and processes to protect documents, safeguard information resources, and manage the associated business risks. While some organizations’ retained documents make their way to centralized repositories, what about transitory documents lying on employee’s hard drives, e-mail inboxes, shared drives, and removable media? During this webinar Proofpoint will discuss the intersection of information archives and in-place information governance. Information archives centralize key business or regulated messages and files to allow for rapid search, collection, and preservation, while ensuring mandated retention policies are followed. At the same time, in-place governance provides management over all the documents that live across an organization's network without forcing people to adopt new, unnatural processes for sharing information.

• • Falling off the Left Side of the EDRM: How to Design an Information Governance framework that moves beyond eDiscovery

  • February 23, 2012 at 4:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Recommind
  • With concern over sanctionable spoliation at an all-time high, and with recent companies starting to recognize issues of “big data,” and its exploding data diversity, companies and law firms are looking for a comprehensive way to address risk. This webinar will explore how Companies and Counsel can design and implement Information Governance policies and procedures that can help them identify and mitigate information risk.

• • The Convergence of eDiscovery and Information Governance

  • January 24, 2012 at 1:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Nuix
  • For inside counsel looking to advance an information governance agenda and identify risks across their enterprise, fixing small pain points first will help them build the trust of key decision makers. Join leaders in the industry for a thought-provoking discussion about the convergence of eDiscovery and information governance looking at the past, present and future. Compared to eDiscovery, information governance as a discipline is in its infancy. Yet many of the skills and techniques eDiscovery practitioners have developed over the past decade can also be applied to information governance. Organizations can apply the lessons learned from eDiscovery to accelerate their path towards a sophisticated information governance framework. With so much unstructured information in electronic storage containers such as email, SharePoint, file shares, social media, cloud applications and more, all in their own proprietary formats, it's obvious that the risks of not knowing what’s going on in your organization is growing every day. The need to proactively identify risks across your organization including inappropriate behavior, security and fraud concerns, as well as breaches around regulatory and policy compliance has never been more critical.

• • Cross-Matter Management – A New Approach for Corporate eDiscovery To Increase Efficiency, Reduce Costs and Minimize Risk

  • January 11, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Daegis
  • As the volume of electronically stored information (ESI) associated with eDiscovery continues to grow exponentially, it is increasingly challenging for corporate counsel to comply with the demands of the courts, especially when facing frequent litigation, budget constraints and tight deadlines. Rather than repeat the process of collecting, processing, analyzing and reviewing documents for each separate matter, why not retain the high value data and intellectual capital created during the eDiscovery process for reuse in future matters? Cross-Matter Management is a new approach to eDiscovery that saves corporations time and money by preserving and reusing the attorney work product created during the eDiscovery process. In this webinar, Daegis will discuss the many eDiscovery challenges driving the need for Cross-Matter Management, as well as the benefits clients can expect by adopting this process.

• • Best Practices in Mitigating Third Party Risk with Due Diligence & Compliance

  • December 6, 2011 at 1:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by PwC LLP
  • The risks of having no intermediary compliance program, or an ineffective one, are too great. Hefty fines and penalties along with the cost of unquantifiable reputational damage far outweigh the cost of implementing an effective risk-based compliance program. Tune in and hear how international organizations and countries have focused on designing compliance programs, which include the performance of due diligence on intermediaries, to prevent and detect corrupt behaviors. While there is guidance available for an organization to follow when designing its compliance program for intermediaries, there is no one prescribed list of compliance procedures to perform, but an amalgamation of considerations to incorporate into compliance programs. Our panelists will share findings and insights in this vital presentation. This webcast is a second in a three- part webcast series on mitigating risks in today’s business environment. Each webcast will provide best practices, strategies and suggestions that companies can employ to help manage these situations. The first webcast in the series addressed Mitigating Risks in Russia, and a link is available at the bottom of this page. The third webcast will focus on Risk & Global M&A Transactions. We invite you to tune in for all of them.

• • eDiscovery and the Cloud: Legal Challenges and Technology Solutions

  • December 1, 2011 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Symantec
  • According to recent research from the Market Intel Group, “Cloud Computing will be a disruptive technology that will ultimately change the face of computing”. With a market approaching $300 billion over the next five years, this seemingly unstoppable migration of data to the "cloud" isn't without significant risks from a legal and compliance perspective. The good news is that there are a range of emerging technologies that can help with the eDiscovery, compliance and information governance challenges that come along with the cloud data storage paradigm.

• • Protecting Your Brand in a New gTLD World

  • November 9, 2011 at 1:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by MarkMonitor
  • ICANN’s expansion of generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) will impact virtually every corporation. Companies should be well into the process of defining a strategy to seize opportunities and protect against the potential for new or expanded threats. With so many wide-open namespaces anticipated, brands will need to be even more vigilant about policing for abuse, as opposed to simply registering domains defensively. Please join MarkMonitor Domain Management experts, Matt Serlin and Elisa Cooper, for a complete guide to protecting your brand in a new gTLD world.

• • Managing the Legal Risk of Social Media in the Enterprise

  • November 3, 2011 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Recommind
  • Across the globe, participation in social media is growing at breakneck speed. More and more employers are using social media tools, which also include blogs and video sharing sites, explicitly for business purposes. And while social media offers benefits for marketing communications, it also presents an array of potentially serious problems for the enterprise. Social media risks for the enterprise come in many forms. For example, corporations that sanction the use of social media are potentially liable for their employee’s actions when using sites such as Twitter. This web seminar will focus on some simple steps that will help to effectively control the risks and rising eDiscovery costs that can be associated with social media.
