A big welcome to Clearwell, customers, partners and employees!  Today, Clearwell Systems, a leader in eDiscovery, is now part of Symantec.  This means our two teams are officially working together to provide both Clearwell and Symantec customers exceptional end-to-end information management solutions spanning archiving, backup and eDiscovery.

We have already begun work on more robust integration between Clearwell and Enterprise Vault.  Our goal is to provide Symantec customers access to enhanced eDiscovery functionality and Clearwell customers access to a broader set of integrated information management solutions from one vendor – Symantec.

Lions (Quick-Peeks), Tigers (Clawbacks), and Bears (Archiving & eDiscovery), Oh My!

The most comprehensive piece I have read to date on the differences between Quick-Peeks and Clawback Agreements was authored by Ralph Losey (http://bit.ly/kk1V5z).  In a careful and thoughtful analysis, he succinctly outlines and clarifies the scope of these agreements, when they should be utilized, and how to draft them to safeguard privileged documents from potential waiver claims.  It is recommended reading to improve the knowledge base, because even experienced lawyers are still confused by the two.  See also Rule 26 (b) (5) (B), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Rule 502 Federal Rules of Evidence.

Court Approval of Scope and Methods for eDiscovery helping us achieve Proportional Preservation through changes in FRCP 26

I was fortunate enough this week to have Symantec  send me to the 11thAnnual Superconference in Chicago at the Fairmont.  All sessions I attended were useful, but one of most important was the Judicial Panel on eDiscovery.  The Judges were: Flynn, Francis, Nolan and Waxse with Patrick Oot of the SEC as the moderator.  It is always beneficial to get into the minds of the judges who lead in eDiscovery.  It is especially important to me because many of our Symantec customers ask when purchasing or deploying our eDiscovery suite, “Does this software have court approval?”

The quick answer to that question is “No,” because in general, courts are not in the business of approving technology.  The other way to answer the question is, “Yes,” because our products have never been disapproved either.  Judges prefer that parties reach agreement themselves on scope, search terms, formats and search methodologies. ...

Litigation Readiness and your IT Infrastructure: Spring Cleaning

Litigation Readiness and your IT Infrastructure: Spring Cleaning 

What is litigation readiness and why is it important? It is the measure of how prepared a company is to respond when  litigation arises.  It is important because failure to prepare can, in the best case, lead to inefficiencies and higher costs in responding to discovery to the worst case of facing legal sanctions (fines and penalties) for failure to produce relevant evidence.

 

 How is it measured?  Most companies are unsure of how to formalize readiness, and even the most prepared companies are tested since litigation always presents  surprises.  Because companies face  different regulatory requirements and business needs, this answer is not the same in each case.
