Policies, Processes and Protocols – the first line of defence in E-Discovery
Ledjit Policy Consulting
As the judicial system, corporations and law firms adjust to the new requirements of eDiscovery, they have recognized the importance of having in place an operational set of policies, processes and protocols to guide and provide structure to attorneys and employees responding to eDiscovery demands. Courts are now interested about the existence of and adherence by the corporation and its employees to these corporate policies, processes and protocols. As corporations have built and continue to build and improve their Governance, Risk and Compliance functions and infrastructure to respond to the demands of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Canadian Securities Administrator’s National Instrument 31-103 and other similar controls, they have in many cases overlooked legal policies, processes and protocols. With the increasing complexity of eDiscovery and the exponential growth of data created and stored on the corporations’ networks, it is more important now than ever to have effective policies, processes and protocols in place. These provide corporate legal teams with the ability to plan and effectively manage the costs, time, burden and risks associated with the discovery process. By understanding, planning and implementing effective business processes to address eDiscovery, corporate counsel can systematically manage complex discovery demands in a repeatable and scalable manner. Ledjit helps corporate counsel to define and develop these policies, processes and protocols using best practices and leveraging the advice and experience of leading practitioners, consultants and jurists. Ledjit’s team of experts continues to support you through training, dissemination and implementation of the new policies, processes and protocols. We also provide current awareness as well as annual review services to ensure that your policies remain current to the evolving rules and requirements.
