Extract from Petra Pasternak’s article “Advanced Ediscovery Approaches for Modern Data Types”
In today’s hybrid work environment, every videoconference, text message, and chat leaves a digital trail. The communications exchanged through Teams, Zoom, Slack, and mobile phones are fast, informal, and unstructured.
That makes for a host of discovery headaches for the legal professionals in charge of protecting their organizations – or their clients – during disputes and investigations. With novel data types increasingly making their way into court cases, corporate data is changing the very nature of the litigation process.
To map out the phenomenal evolution of collaboration and communication tools and their impact on the ediscovery and litigation landscape, Everlaw has launched Novel Data Types: How Collaborative Tools Are Changing the Face of Ediscovery.
The guide describes the top challenges legal professionals face and best practices to navigate ediscovery successfully.
