When the Game is Afoot: eDiscovery Investigations – The majority of eDiscovery work takes place in the context of litigation, but a significant amount of it takes place instead in the context of investigations, where time pressure can be greater and bad actors may work against your efforts. In this practice guide, we discuss eDiscovery investigation issues, including: the need for speed and secrecy, the challenges of nuanced analysis and review, the importance of preparing for later litigation, and challenges created by modern technology.

Everything in Moderation, Including Discovery – Proportionality Series, Part 1
On December 1, 2015, the most significant amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure became effective since the 2006 amendments that made the era of electronically-stored information official. Among the rules revised was Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 26(b)(1), which defines the scope of discovery. The change brought the existing-but-overlooked concept of proportionality front and center in an attempt to combat the runaway cost and scale of discovery in the digital era. So, in the two years since this amendment became effective, has the role of proportionality in discovery actually changed? How are courts applying the multi-factor proportionality test now enshrined in FRCP 26(b)(1)? Have objections based on proportionality been successful?

A Supercomputer in Every Pocket – Mobile Device Discovery Series, Part 1
Today, the average smartphone “has more computing power than all of NASA when it put the first men on the moon in 1969.” The vast majority of your key players and other custodians will have one in their pocket. But what about business use? As of 2015, 80% of people were using texting for business purposes. Another survey found that, in 42% of financial services organizations, employees had requested authorization to use text messaging for business – double the 21% reported in 2016. The same survey found that 83% of organizations now allow employees to use their personal devices for business communication. As a result, mobile devices are turning up frequently as relevant sources in litigation. Learn more about these trends and how they are growing into areas of concern.
