A Webinar of Pepper Hamilton LLP
The Practical Aspects of E-Discovery
Friday, February 09, 2007
On December 1, 2006, the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure addressing e-discovery became effective. The amendments mark the beginning of a new era in business litigation. The lesson is clear: e-discovery can no longer be an afterthought; business litigants and their counsel must consider e-discovery and the role of e-documents at the outset of litigation.
On February 8, Pepper Hamilton presented a webinar offering an understanding of the changes to the Rules of Civil Procedure, discussed the importance of an effective information management plan before potential litigation, and explored best practices for creating an effective e-discovery plan in the event of litigation.
The PowerPoint slides are available here.
