Description
About the Program:
1 hour General Participatory MCLE credit available.
This class is available for remote viewing from home/office. Special instructions for remote viewing will be emailed a few days before the class.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require that companies be prepared to discuss the location and accessibility of potentially relevant information shortly after litigation begins. Discovery rules and recent case law require the quick and effective imposition of a litigation hold once a triggering event occurs. This session will address how to reduce discovery costs and risks through litigation readiness, including the development of an effective litigation discovery response plan, the creation of a targeted data map, and a review of email and records retention policies (in and out of the cloud), schedules and backups.

Prior to joining DTI, Jeff spent seven years as an Associate Litigation Counsel at MCI/WorldCom, where he managed the electronic discovery associated with the government investigations of the WorldCom accounting fraud, the related securities class actions and other litigation, and the acquisition of MCI by Verizon.
