If you missed the Fulbright & Jaworski webinar entitled: Brave New World: In-sourcing eDiscovery in 2010, you should find the time to watch it.

Fulbright’s Electronic Discovery and Information Management e-Solutions Web Seminar Series is always extremely valuable. I found that Brave New World hit the proverbial nail on the head. Companies cannot ignore eDiscovery, as Judges have educated themselves on eDiscovery capabilities and are issuing hefty sanctions on corporation which attempt to stick their head in the sand.  So its not surprising that Fulbright & Jaworski’s 2009 Litigation Trends Survey, confirmed a growing trend: almost one-half of 408 participants reported in-sourcing some aspects of eDiscovery.   Corporate America has realized that it needs to expand its efforts to take control of eDiscovery risks and reduce overall litigation spending.   Emerging technologies are changing the landscape for in-sourcing eDiscovery, making it more accessible, feasible and cost-effective.

In Brave New World Part II, a panel of experienced attorneys Laurie Weiss Partner at Fulbright and Liane Komagome, Director of Business Information Management at Enterprise Products Company and Business Technologist Brian Evans of Fulbright discussed in-sourcing eDiscovery, including practical pointers for selecting strategic partners, identifying appropriate processes and technology solutions, evaluating advantages and disadvantages for your environment, and implementing and deploying solutions.
