eDiscovery and collaborative platforms

The exponential data growth and the use of collaborative platforms is resulting in increased complexity and costs for internal investigations and legal proceedings.

In this session, sponsored by Pagefreezer, we covered:

• Why these tools are gaining traction
• The ‘down the track’ problems and costs of collaborative platforms – Teams, Slack, challenges to traditional notions of  what is a “document”, “custodian”
• The different types of tech collaborative tools and the dangers of employees using unsanctioned apps (shadow IT) include cross-border/data protection perspectives; ephemeral data apps
•  Update on case law developments
•  Steps organisations should be taking to enable cost efficient discovery/disclosure:  identification/preservation, collection, analysis, document production
