ARMA Webinar: Cross-Border E-Discovery
UBIC is making available a complimentary on-demand ARMA webinar on issues and solutions related to finding, transferring and reviewing digital evidence, through Sept. 30.
Business is increasingly global, and that inevitably brings disputes and regulatory investigations whose subject-matter and evidence crosses jurisdictional boundaries, says UBIC. The US approach to electronic discovery, whether in civil litigation or at the hands of regulators and criminal investigators, is much wider than is permitted elsewhere, even before questions of privacy and data protection arise.
The EU led the way with such restrictions, and now most other jurisdictions, including China, have followed. How can US courts, lawyers and regulators reconcile the proper demands of US proceedings with the equally proper restraints of other jurisdictions? Our panel will describe the problems and offer practical solutions for minimizing the conflicts.
Speakers are Chris Dale, eDisclosure Project, English Solicitor; Patrick Burke, Counsel, Reed Smith, LLP; Patrick Zeller; Corporate E-Discovery & Privacy Counsel, Gilead Sciences; Paul Starrett (Moderator); Counsel and Chief Global Risk Officer, UBIC, Inc.
