Discovery is an ongoing part of your life as a public sector information management or legal professional. With new e-discovery rules in place, you face a whole new set of challenges. Responding to and managing these discovery requests will place a huge burden on already strained IM and legal resources. Yet the consequences of failing to adequately respond can be devastating.
While numerous other courses and conferences address the issues of e-discovery, these events have regularly failed to take public sector realities into account. E-discovery and Litigation Readiness for the Public Sector will change that! We've brought together some of the leading practitioners and thinkers in Canada with specific experience in dealing with the difficulties of IM and e-discovery in the public sector.
You'll hear from the authors of some of the definitive resources in e-discovery, from members of Sedona Canada's committees, and from professionals who've learned--often the hard way--how to deal with the challenges e-discovery presents. They'll walk you through everything you need to know to make your department litigation-ready.
This is one training session you can't afford to miss. You'll walk away able to identify problem areas, risks, and deficiencies in your own litigation readiness. And more importantly, you'll have the tools you need to address them. Register today!
