Recover Costs, Improve Profits & Reduce Risk: Cost Recovery for eDiscovery Content
Sponsored by:
Law firms, like all businesses, are constantly looking for ways to reduce costs and improve profits. Traditional cost recovery focuses on tracking, managing and assigning costs associated with activities such as scanning, faxing, printing, and e-mailing. To make documents eDiscoverable at point of capture, documents should be tagged with metadata such as filename, matter, client and billing code information; easing the burden on staff and lawyers, so more time can be spent strategizing the case and less time at the device handling administrative tasks. This session will explore various practices for integrating eDiscovery into traditional cost recovery tactics. Industry experts will also discuss tips and tricks to help profits soar while also reducing risk of data loss.

Unbundling Litigation: Selecting and Using E-Discovery Counsel
There was a time when corporations expected litigation counsel to handle all aspects of litigation, including discovery. However, as e-discovery becomes more complex and mistakes are increasingly common, there is a trend toward unbundling litigation and selecting a separate e-discovery counsel. E-discovery counsel is often a separate law firm that specializes in e-discovery issues and can do the work better, faster and cheaper than general litigation lawyers. This panel will discuss the pros and cons of using e-discovery counsel in complex litigation. We will also discuss best practices for selecting and integrating e-discovery counsel into the litigation process.

Information security is a high priority concern for both corporations and law firms in the eDiscovery process. The challenge is translating this concern into practice.

In this session, we will offer an overview of approaches that will allow lawyers to ethically meet their professional obligations related to information security best practices, standards and processes, such as:
- Why a process driven approach to information security is needed?
- Who should be responsible for information security in the eDiscovery process?

- How to evaluate information security practices in your eDiscovery partner or vendor?
