We recently hosted a Foley Executive Briefing Series program discussing practical steps for efficiently managing electronic evidence. The program outlined five ways to train employees to manage electronic documents so that the documents can be retained or purged without risk of sanctions. Attendees learned effective options for retaining necessary e-mails while purging the overwhelming wave of nonessential chatter as well as advice for selecting and managing the array of vendors in the field. The program also addressed methods for implementing, monitoring, and ending a litigation hold without reinventing the wheel each time.
