It’s Ipro Day!  As part of the Educational partnership between Ipro and eDiscovery Today that was announced recently, I’m excited to say that I will be writing a new weekly blog post for Ipro’s blog, to supplement the excellent educational content that Jim Gill and the Ipro team regularly provide!  Just like I do on eDiscovery Today, I will write educational posts about a variety of topics related to eDiscovery, cybersecurity and data privacy.

Today’s weekly blog post for Ipro’s blog concludes the two part series on considerations for custodian readiness interviews.  A few weeks ago, I discussed Three Components to Assessing Your Organization’s eDiscovery Readiness from the Ground Up.  One of those components was conducting interviews of key personnel, which included interviews with at least one or two key representatives of the legal department, IT and records management departments.  Last week, I discussed the first three considerations for effective eDiscovery custodian interviews in 2020; today, I completed the two-part series by discussing the remaining two considerations.

Also, just a reminder that Tomorrow at 2pm ET (1pm CT, 11am PT), Ipro will conduct the webinar Legal SWOT Analysis: Identifying Opportunities & Threats for eDiscovery, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy During the Pandemic.  I’ll be presenting, along with two of my favorite people(!) – Tom O’Connor, Director of the Gulf Legal Technology Center and Jim Gill, Content Marketing Manager (and blogger extraordinaire) for Ipro.  Should be interesting and a lot of fun!  Don’t miss it, click here to register!

So, what are last two considerations for custodian readiness interviews?  You can find out on Ipro’s blog here.  Don’t worry, it’s just one extra click!  And, of course, I’ll still be continuing to write plenty of posts on eDiscovery Today as well!

So, what do you think?  Does your organization conduct custodian discovery readiness interviews – before litigation?   Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
