Over the last 18 months, data preservation for discovery has been in the spotlight like never before. One important aspect is the emphasis that several courts have put the obligation on outside counsel to oversee the preservation process. Many counsel are now taking a much more active role to help ensure that reasonable and good faith efforts are undertaken to identify and preserve potentially relevant information.
Based on Cohen and Harris's article "Partners in Preservation" that was published in July 2011, this webcast reviews how evolving case law is driving these changes, and examine ways that outside counsel can partner with inside counsel in order to fulfill their joint obligation to preserve information potentially relevant to pending or reasonably anticipated litigation or investigations.
