The topic of eDiscovery and hyperlinked files in eMails keeps getting hotter! Now, there’s a webinar where we’ll discuss it!

On Tuesday, June 25th, Strafford will host the webcast eDiscovery and Hyperlinked Files in Emails: Considerations for Collecting, Searching, and Producing Modern Attachments (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). This 90-minute CLE webinar will discuss considerations for how to deal with one of the newest controversies in eDiscovery: modern attachments. The panel will review what they are and special problems that must be considered, offer guidance about ESI protocols, review common objections to producing them and how to overcome those objections, and discuss concerns such as “which version,” broken links, deleted documents, and the state of software solutions. Topics to be discussed include:

• How and why the issue has arisen
• Relevant case law rulings
• Common objections to production
• Five assumptions to frame the discussion
• Current available solutions and challenges with each
• Current strategies and practical solutions
• Proposed language for modern attachments in ESI protocols

I’m excited to be part of the panel, along with Monica McCarroll, Partner at Redgrave, and John J. Rosenthal, Partner at Winston & Strawn! We will review these and other key issues:

• What is the difference between modern attachments and links to the web?
• What ancillary issues arise with hyperlinked documents?
• What are common objections to producing modern attachments and how are they overcome?
• What does it mean to have possession custody or control of a modern attachment?

Are hyperlinked files “modern attachments” or not? And how can and should they be handled? Register here to join the discussion of eDiscovery and hyperlinked files in eMails!
