The complexities of litigation holds represent a daunting prospect for many legal professionals. The challenge is not only managing and preserving data during the legal hold but is equally concerned with what happens after the hold is lifted. This webinar, titled “The Lit Hold is Over – What Next?” promises to shed light on this seldom discussed but crucial aspect of the eDiscovery process. Taking place on September 29th, from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT, the session endeavours to provide guidance on the conundrum of digital trash and how it relates to managing records during and post-litigation hold.
Presented by experts in the legal, records management, and eDiscovery fields, the webinar aims to help practitioners navigate the nuances of data conservation. Different types of data and varying case scenarios may require a hybrid approach to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory obligations. Legacy software and data storage also play a significant role in the preservation of information; and will therefore be a focal point for discussion. The potential hiding places for crucial data will also be covered, aiding legal professionals in comprehensive data management during the litigation process.
A significant challenge that professionals often face post-litigation hold is determining what to do with the preserved data now that the case has concluded. The associations between managing records, eDiscovery, and disposed digital trash are not often entirely transparent. Still, the webinar pledges to provide context and direction for professionals grappling with this issue.
Join the aforementioned webinar to gain valuable insights about the management and responsible disposal of records post-litigation. The theme underscores the importance of effective records management not just during the preservation hold but also once it ends, potentially setting a valuable precedent for many corporations and law firms across the globe.
