Speaker, Gibbons Academy, "Document Review: Understanding E-Discovery Costs, Best Practices and Ethical Issues"

At this presentation, the speakers will discuss document review best practices and pitfalls, addressing such topics as:

• vendor technology capabilities;
• understanding ways to potentially reduce vendor costs and fees;
• work flow;
• use of search term reports, substantive issue tags, and fields;
• identification of privileged documents; and
• standard production protocols, quality control, and beyond.

This presentation will also address ethical issues attorneys must consider in handling e-discovery, including the duty of competence, staying abreast of developments in technology and balancing a client’s desire to reduce legal costs with outside counsel’s need to stay actively involved in the discovery process.
