Electronic Discovery for Employment Lawyers
Why Attend?
Employment lawyers & in house counsel experience problems unique to the workplace & the employer/employee relationship. In this live videocast, electronic records will be discussed in the context of individual termination cases, retaliation cases, harassment cases, and reductions in work force.
Most workplace documents today don’t exist in paper form. Traces of electronic data, the ease of multiplying it, & the possibility of identifying its flow have made the law of discovery complex. The corpus of case law changes with every passing month as important new decisions are made. How well do you know the law & the trends?
Electronic discovery costs are skyrocketing, forcing employers to spend billions of dollars. How can you assist your clients? How can you prepare them for success and reduce their costs while winning?
National experts from intertwining disciplines – employment litigators, technical gurus & a magistrate – will analyze the issues most important to you against the backdrop of quickly emerging case law.
This distinguished panel will isolate these issues of greatest importance to you, such as:
Drafting & implementing record retention policies and procedures
Creating a litigation plan
Preserving digital evidence – avoiding spoliation sanctions & other common mistakes
Preserving of the Attorney-Client Privilege - Clawback Agreements & New Rule 502
