Hot Topics in e-Discovery – 2018

2018 has ushered in a number of key eDiscovery developments that clients and counsel should understand. These developments include key procedural issues regarding non-waiver orders and ESI preservation questions, technological advances influencing the discovery of relevant communications, and a new round of cyber-attacks and data breaches. This program will address these developments and spotlight best practices for addressing the issues.

Topics covered include:

• Best practices for drafting non-waiver orders under Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d)

• Newer sources of discoverable ESI and the growing use of messaging applications over email

• Lessons learned from recent Ransomware attacks and the Wells Fargo data breach
