Webinar: “A Compelling Need for Change in Legal Hold Practices” with Charlotte Riser Harris and Brad Harris

Charlotte Riser Harris, Litigation Support Manager for Hess Corporation, and Brad Harris, leading national 

preservation expert and VP for Legal Products at Zapproved (no relation to Charlotte), team up for a one-hour webinar designed to help in-house legal teams adapt to the latest preservation standards. The content is adapted from their co-authored article that appeared in the June issue of ALM’s The Corporate Counselor®.

The year 2010 saw one of the highest rates of spoliation motions ever, reflecting a growing trend that actions taken in response to a duty to preserve data for discovery are coming under increasing scrutiny by savvy litigants and demanding jurists.  As the costs and risks associated with e-discovery continue to proliferate, organizations must take stock of their current practices for recognizing and responding to a duty to preserve, or face certain peril.

How has the litigation landscape changed over the past 18 months since Judge Scheindlin issued her noteworthy Pension Committee opinion?  What “reasonable and good faith” efforts are now expected when responding to a preservation obligation?  What are the consequences of failing to meet this standard? And how have tools and processes evolved to lessen the burden on organizations?

The presentation will include how one organization has responded to this compelling need for change and invested in improving their efficiency, defensibility and effectiveness of their legal hold processes.
