Description: Firms are just beginning to grasp the magnitude of

having too much electronic information clogging the digital pipeline.

Mercifully, the law is now trending toward easing this burden with the

recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Our expert

panelists will provide a cogent strategy to manage all forms of

electronic documents according to a predetermined and well-thought-out

records retention policy, and give you a framework for making defensible

decisions to manage and dispose of records and information consistently

and cohesively.

A teleforum on this topic was hosted by this panel of experts on March

2nd and was a huge hit. Many members were unable to attend and expressed

interest in a follow up, so the speakers recorded this podcast to share

the takeaways with all of us.
