Saving on eDiscovery by Mediating

About This Webinar

As digital information is increasingly at the center of conflicts today, mediation can offer a cost-effective and streamlined solution to eDiscovery disputes. Rather than engaging in protracted litigations that exhaust both time and resources, mediation gives parties a choice to collaborate through a third-party mediator. This context supports and encourages negotiation to arrive at mutually acceptable solutions to resolve eDiscovery issues. Mediation for such issues is, in part, effective due to its ability to narrow the scope of data review and avoid duplication of efforts. As eDiscovery increasingly centers at the forefront of conflicts and disputes, attorneys will find the knowledge of this alternative to litigation a useful tool for offering clients a cost-effective and streamlined solution that can promote goodwill and preserve business relationships.

In this CLE seminar, our expert panelists begin by reviewing the role of mediation in the electronic discovery process, highlighting some of the key characteristics of its function, such as some of its advantages and disadvantages, the parties involved, and the role of the mediator. Next, our speakers share some of the best practices for attorneys to employ when preparing for an eDiscovery mediation, from the perspective of both mediators and counsel. Finally, our speakers highlight and distinguish when choosing eDiscovery mediation can help streamline the process and reduce costs.

  1. Understanding eDiscovery Mediation
  2. Best Practices when Preparing for E-Discovery Mediation
  3. When to Choose Mediation for eDiscovery

As businesses of all sizes face increasing cyber threats with financial, intellectual property theft, or political motivations, they must be prepared for the accompanying regulatory risk. Boards and senior executives are increasingly expected to not only be knowledgeable on the subject but also demonstrate active involvement in their organization’s cyber risk management strategies. Counsel advising these members of senior leadership, as well as executives and board members themselves, will find this webinar a useful opportunity to better understand the SEC regulatory framework, how the new rules will impact business operations, and the steps to take to reduce cyber regulatory risk.

In this seminar, our panelists of regulatory and cyber experts begin by reviewing the role of the SEC and the strengthening of its cyber enforcement actions and capabilities, while contextualizing the current cyber landscape. Our speakers then review the 2020 SEC Cybersecurity and Resiliency Observations, which include standards for senior-level engagement, risk assessment practices, and policies and procedures.

About This Webinar

In the last decade, the prevalence of data breaches and other cyber-attacks has consistently risen. As a result, a majority of businesses can expect to experience cyber events in their lifespan, whether they are targeted for their customer data, intellectual property, or for the purposes of business disruption.

About This Webinar

While artificial intelligence has already been part of our daily lives in innocuous and often subtle ways for a long time, the dramatic rise of generative AI’s prominence in the past year has brought previously futuristic-seeming questions and concerns for attorneys to the forefront. Artificial intelligence has the ability to support lawyers in the more laborious aspects of their profession, such as document review, legal research, contract analysis, and even first drafts. Yet, as the legal profession had long been considered ‘safe’ from automation, many fear that these supposed tools may eventually replace them. While all these questions cannot entirely be answered today, our experts, who are leading legal voices in the field of AI, will help attorneys to better understand how the technology works, what it can be used for, and its limitations. This will enable attorneys to adapt to these new developments while safeguarding the human-centric aspect of the legal practice.

In this seminar, our expert panelists begin by providing a primer on artificial intelligence, reviewing the primary types of reasoning, and highlighting how machine learning works. Next, our speakers dive into the many applications of AI for the legal industry, highlighting specific use cases for eDiscovery. The conversation then evolves to the current and potential future impacts of AI on the legal profession, from the benefits to concerns of attorneys being replaced by AI. Our experts conclude by focusing on how attorneys should prepare and adapt to changes engendered by AI while upholding ethical and legal standards.

Topics covered in this webinar:   

  1. Understanding Artificial Intelligence
  2. Practical Applications of AI in the Legal Industry

The advantages of mediating Computer Fraud and Abuse Act disputes

 

February 6, 2024

 

By Daniel Garrie, Hon. Gail A. Andler

 

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (“CFAA”), codified as United States Code Title 18 Section 1030, is probably best known as the primary federal law governing cybercrime in the United States today. However, the CFAA also provides for civil remedies, which some companies have seen as an way to recover monetary damages for suffered losses from data breaches or cyberattacks that the government is either unwilling or unable to prosecute due to the explosion of cybercrime in recent years. For CFAA cases pursued as civil matters, mediation can be an effective tool for resolving disputes, saving the parties time and money in a way that gets to the heart of the technical issues.    

What is the CFAA?  

At a high level, the CFAA prohibits unauthorized access of protected computer systems and the distribution, theft, or damage of information from a computer or network. The CFAA also includes provisions prohibiting other computer related offenses such as computer espionage, trafficking in passwords, and transmitting malicious code.  

Notably, the CFAA also allows individuals to bring civil actions for violations of the CFAA. Pursuant to Section 1030(g) of the CFAA, “Any person who suffers damage or loss by reason of a violation of this section may maintain a civil action against the violator to obtain compensatory damages and injunctive relief or other equitable relief.”  The CFAA limits the right of a private individual to bring a civil action only where the violation: (1) modifies or impairs medical examination, diagnosis, treatment or care of a person or persons; (2) causes physical injury to any person; (3) causes a threat to public health or safety; or (4) causes “loss” to one or more persons during any one-year period aggregating at least $5,000 in value. 

This gives entities that have been the victim of cybersecurity breaches a useful tool in situations where law enforcement does not pursue the matter. There are also advantages for the plaintiff as the “preponderance of evidence” standard of civil cases is much lower than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of criminal cases.

Harnessing the Power of Technical E-Discovery Neutrals in Litigation

 

February 2, 2024

 

By Daniel Garrie, Leo M. GOrdon

 

E-discovery processes can be complex given the sheer volume and diversity of digital data, combined with the technical intricacies of data management and retrieval. This is where technical e-discovery neutrals come into play, offering their specialized expertise to manage and streamline e-discovery processes.

The digital age has significantly transformed the legal landscape, particularly in the realm of discovery. Electronic discovery (e-discovery) has emerged as a critical part of modern litigation regarding the identification, collection and production of electronically stored information (ESI). However, e-discovery processes can be complex, given the sheer volume and diversity of digital data, combined with the technical intricacies of data management and retrieval. This is where technical e-discovery neutrals come into play, offering their specialized expertise to manage and streamline e-discovery processes, potentially narrowing disputes and saving significant time and cost.

 

Role of Technical E-Discovery Neutrals

Technical e-discovery neutrals are legal professionals with expertise in both the law and technology. They work to facilitate efficient and cost-effective e-discovery processes by advising parties on technical issues, ensuring compliance with relevant legal standards, and arbitrating disputes over ESI. Their involvement can range from consultative roles to more formal appointments by courts, especially in complex litigation where the e-discovery process might be contentious or technically challenging.
