Lessons from Global Markets:
Finding Efficiencies in Document Reviews as Data Volumes Increase
In-house legal teams face significant challenges as corporations’ IT systems and data types continue to evolve. Internal audits, DSARs, regulator requests and litigation are just a few of the document intensive operations that have now to contend with not just documents and emails, but mobile phone data and chat messages as well as audio and visual content.
Due to the often very large eDiscovery document reviews required for US litigation, our continental cousins are often required to innovate earlier in the process in order to reduce cost and effort while maintaining a level state of risk. Tracy Drynan J.D. is one such individual who saw the need to redress the way document review projects are typically managed. In this session, we will explore the new challenges faced by in-house legal teams and the pressure on corporate spend; discuss alternative methods of approaching document reviews, debate the virtues of AI in the process and contemplate the services available to in-house counsel.
Learning Objectives:
- Significantly reduce the cost and effort of document reviews.
- Discover the next generation approaches that can provide a better understanding of the risks of the case much earlier in the process.
- Learn how legal departments can solve these challenges and influence change now.
