COURSE DESCRIPTION: Every email, every spreadsheet, every digital file of any kind - plus every PC, every laptop, every server, every thumb drive, and every CD-ROM in your organization is now fair game in a court of law. To make matters worse, all your digital assets need to be organized, tracked, and would need to be produced on demand by the courts.
Any legal proceeding from now on – involving things like ADA, discrimination, complaint investigations, safety incidents, FMLA, progressive discipline, recruiting, hiring, firing, and sexual harassment – will require your organization to produce relevant electronic documents quickly and efficiently.
No longer will courts accept general claims of “undue burden” as a defense to producing electronic documents. The revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to electronic discovery are in effect. As of right now, the burden is squarely on you.
Are you prepared with an effective records and information management (RIM) policy – and do you know the best practices that will help you keep it lean, cost-effective, and bulletproof under legal scrutiny? And do you know what the new Rules really mean for CFOs, Controllers, and Human Resource executives?
This audio conference will provide not only an update on the new Rules, but it will also provide insight into the practical effects the rules play on your daily business operations and your preparedness for electronic discovery. By attending this audio conference, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of certain key areas that the new Federal Rules will affect in business and practice
- Get practical tips to be better prepared under the revised Federal Rules for pending or potential litigation
- Adopt reasonable retention policies for electronically stored documents
- Gauge how to best revise your document retention policies and practices
- Minimize the burdens of electronic discovery by creating cross-functional teams
- Learn how to respond to electronic discovery obligations cost-effectively
