Legalweek(year), like everything else in our lives at present, will look different this year. We won’t be gathering in NYC to socialize and have face-to-face conversations; we won’t be going out for dinner or drinks. You might be asking yourself – why attend? During your busy work schedule, why set time aside to engage in online chats or watch more online sessions?
But what if you could go further and faster without leaving your home? Here are the top three reasons for taking advantage of the digital incarnation of Legalweek(year), which kicks off on February 2, 2021.
1. Remote work has meant a further explosion of digital communication platforms and new challenges around controlling, collecting, and managing ESI for investigations. Join OpenText’s educational track session on Day 1 – February 2, 2021 at 1:30 PM ET for “When an Investigation Hits: Strategies for Effective and Rapid Resolution When Your Team is Remote”. In this CLE accredited presentation, OpenText’s investigation strategy consultants, Tom Gricks III and Tracy Drynan will join Lindsay White, Director, Global Litigation and Investigations, Applied Materials, Andrea D’Ambra, Head of eDiscovery & Information Governance, Norton Rose Fulbright LLP and Richard Day, Head of eDiscovery, UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to discuss how they have adapted their investigations processes and practices to remain in control. Topics will range from the new reality of masked dawn raids amidst a global pandemic, to multi-national corporations and law firm’s perspectives on tackling new challenges around data preservation, control, collection, and privacy issues arising because of increasingly disbursed ESI and blurred lines between work and home for remote employees.
2. The economic fallout of the global pandemic means that internal legal and investigation teams are under immense pressure. Budgets are shrinking, and cost-effective and efficient investigations and early case assessment are more important than ever to identify and mitigate risks to the organization. The strategic use of technology to speed time to facts, find and protect sensitive legal data, and rapidly inform data-driven strategy while reducing costs are essential in this effort. At our virtual booth, OpenText experts will offer targeted, informative, and interactive sessions sharing the latest advancements in technology to ensure that your team is optimally positioned to maintain control over risks, time, and budgets. Live facilitated sessions will help your team in leveraging technology to increase efficiency while lowering costs and risks:
