They will discuss how to scope the project and select the right legal service providers when every dollar in the litigation budget matter.

Small matters today are sinking valuable staff and outside counsel time in an ocean of email.

• • Predictive Coding 101

  • January 24, 2013 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Recommind
  • As electronic documents play an increasingly important role in many legal proceedings, today’s law firms are searching for new ways to review hundreds of thousands or millions of documents in response to an eDiscovery request. Most legal professionals are aware of the costs and time it takes to sift through the mountains of emails, text messages, contracts, spreadsheets, and other documents when preparing for legal proceedings. They’re also aware that the documents you find (or don’t find, as the case may be) and where in the process you find them can determine the success or failure of legal proceedings. Unfortunately, as electronic data volumes have continued to skyrocket, its becomes more difficult and expensive for legal teams to find and review all information that is potentially relevant to a case, a process called electronic discovery (eDiscovery), in the time allotted by the court. In this webinar, Predictive Coding for Dummies: RecommindSpecial Edition, Bill Tolson, takes this definitive guide to Predictive Coding, written by his colleagues at Recommind, the company that pioneered and patented this groundbreaking review process.

• • Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and the Deal Lawyer

  • December 5, 2012 at 2:00 pm ET
  • Sponsored by Recommind
  • In this webinar, the speakers will explore various strategies and techniques that can be implemented by deal lawyers to proactively deal with eDiscovery disputes through carefully negotiated contractual provisions. They will evaluate how indemnification provisions, which are often negotiated without thoroughly evaluating future eDiscovery issues, should be negotiated with more of an emphasis on future litigation, especially given the costs associated with eDiscovery. They will address how sound information management and discovery practices, applied throughout the pre-closing life of a deal, can help your company minimize problems down the road and potentially change the entire valuation of the deal. Throughout the discussion the speakers will explore a variety of creative solutions for deal lawyers to minimize the exposure of eDiscovery issues (and the financial impact) before litigation ensues.
