eTERA Consulting to Host Webinar on Data Preservation and Litigation Holds
Data and technology management company eTERA Consulting will host a complimentary webinar focused on best practices for data preservation and litigation holds on April 28, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EDT with panel speakers Sam Morgan, Anthony Lowe, Esq. and Debra Rushton.
This one-hour complimentary webinar will provide in-house attorneys, outside counsel and litigation support professionals with a high level approach and best practices around the topic of data preservation, and will examine the overarching concepts of a sound preservation plan.
Corporations and their outside counsel often struggle with properly preserving data and implementing legal holds – and the recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have only led to further confusion, eTERA Consulting said in a release. With the volume of data only increasing exponentially, it is not advantageous from a cost or liability standpoint to keep everything. The panel of experts will provide real life prospective of the complexities of properly preserving data in large organizations.
eTERA’s Sam Morgan, Global Managing Consultant Discovery/EDRM, and leading industry experts from a financial services corporation, Anthony Lowe, Esq. and Debra Rushton, will discuss the following key topics:
- The proper framework and components of a sound preservation plan
- Utilizing the proper technologies effectively
- Practical application of preservation and litigation holds
- Recent amendments to the FRCP
This webinar is part of eTERA’s ongoing series of training and education initiatives to help legal professionals stay abreast of critical issues surrounding data management and eDiscovery. To register, click here.
