The laws protecting attorney client and work product privileges are different from state to state, let alone in international litigation. This panel will help discuss the strategies and techniques to identify privilege and protect information from inadvertent disclosure in cross-border litigation.
Conducting Security Audits of Outside Counsel &
Service Providers

ISO 9001 & Beyond: Should Practitioners
Consider New Standards in eDiscovery &
Information Governance?

Come hear from this panel of experts as they discuss the benefits and costs in deploying heightened standards.
Mock Negotiation with the Government Regarding
Discovery
Issues at the discovery negotiating table are becoming more and more complex when managing a case or investigation with regulators. Do you disclose your protocol? Do you disclose the use of technology? How about a sample of non-responsive documents? What about a quick peek? Learn techniques that promote transparency while supporting the interest of your client in this year’s mock session.

Playing with House Money: How Can I Do More
Work with Less Budget?
This session will take a fresh look at ways to spend less on discovery, and squeeze the most out of the dollars that are spent. As the volume of ESI keeps increasing, does the old advice still hold up? What are some new approaches that are proving successful? Are predictive coding and TAR really the answer? If the proposed amendments to the federal rules go into effect, will an increased focus on proportionality and cooperation make a significant difference? What kinds of alternative fee/cost arrangements are working with law firms and service providers?
Data Breadcrumbs: Remote Workplaces, BYO

Update on Flat Fee Pricing & In-House
Deployments

This panel provides an overview of their experience with flat fees for forensic collections, ESI processing, hosting and document review. Discussion to highlight intended and un-intended value these the flat fees deliver to the organization.
Strategies for Proportional Discovery in Small &
Medium Sized Matters
“Big” civil actions seem to grab headlines. However, the vast majority of civil litigation in the State and federal courts is anything but “big” (except, of course, to the litigants). And ESI is increasingly a subject of discovery in that vast majority. How might the “small” or “medium” action be defined? (continued)
(continued) What strategies might be used by counsel, parties,
and courts to avoid undue burden and expense and to ensure that all discovery is proportionate to the “size” of a particular action? This panel explores these and other related questions.
Managing an In-House Intellectual Property
Practice from Start-to-Trial
Managing an in-house Intellectual Property (IP) practice involves more than just landmark headline trials. Often times counsel must consider portfolio management as well as litigation risk. Hear from unique in-house perspectives on how they manage their part of the process, the tools that they use, and what you can deploy to assist your in-house IP practice.
Brownie Points: Effective Internal Investigations &
Compliance Programs
Recently, a Fortune 500 organization moved to a swift settlement, avoiding a lengthy investigation and litigation process.
