Electronic Evidence Management Training
The Problem
Winning or losing in court or while under investigation will depend on how well you and your lawyer manage your electronic evidence but...
- According to a recent survey, 46% of records managers were either "slightly confident" or "not at all confident" that their company could show that the company's electronic records are accurate, reliable, and trustworthy.
- Recent studies show nearly 62% of corporate counsel is dissatisfied with their current corporate records retention policies.
- Less than 50% of corporate counsel reported an ability to issue a litigation hold accurately or identify specific electronic record types subject to a hold.
- Failing to adequately manage electronic evidence can lead to regulatory fines and penalties, sanctions in civil litigation, personal liability for counsel and senior management, criminal liability for organizations and individuals, and lost business.
The Solution
Develop an electronic discovery action plan and conduct litigation readiness audits.
