With more and more evidence existing exclusively in electronic format today, such as emails and email attachments, corporate counsel and law firms cannot afford to be unprepared when it comes to understanding computer systems, IT operations, sources of stored electronic information and adequate response and audit mechanisms required in order to comply with ever-expanding electronic discovery demands in litigation.
Changes to the federal and state court rules governing electronic discovery mandate the use of tech-savvy lawyers who fully understand the laws, technologies, vendors and e-discovery best practices so that you and your client can avoid the kinds of multimillion dollar sanctions imposed in such well-publicized cases as Coleman v. Morgan Stanley, Zubulake v. UBS Warburg LLC, and United States v. Philip Morris.
