Are linked files “modern attachments”? This EDRM webinar sponsored by Nextpoint discusses navigating the eDiscovery challenges of linked files!

Next Tuesday, August 27th, EDRM will host the Nextpoint sponsored webinar Modern Attachments or Old-Fashioned Hyperlinks? How to Navigate the eDiscovery Challenges of Linked Files in Email and Other Platforms (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). The so-called “modern attachments” found in emails, collaboration software platforms like Slack and MS Teams, and other digital formats are presenting interesting and frustrating challenges for legal professionals in terms of data collection, preservation, review, and production. Our panel will discuss those challenges and current considerations for addressing them. Topics include:

• Understanding “Modern Attachments”: Learn what the debate is all about, why hyperlinked files are so challenging, and how to prepare for discovery of them, including ESI Protocol negotiations.
• What the Courts are Saying: Learn about recent Court rulings regarding hyperlinked files and how they should be treated in discovery.
• Technology Considerations: Explore current technical challenges associated with modern attachments and current available solutions and approaches to address those challenges.
• What the Future Holds: Identify trends that illustrate where the issue is heading from a technology and best practices perspective.

I’m excited to be participating in this discussion, along with Kelly Twigger, CEO of eDiscovery Assistant and Brett Burney, Vice President of eDiscovery Consulting at Nextpoint Law Group! We will discuss the current issues that must be considered and how to prepare yourself to deal with these gnarly linked files now and in the future.
