Want to know the latest legal and technical trends for hyperlinked files in eDiscovery? Join us on May 20th for this ACEDS webinar!

On Wednesday, May 20th, ACEDS will host the webinar titled (wait for it!)The Latest Legal and Technical Trends for Hyperlinked Files in eDiscovery (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). Drawing on recent guidance from The Sedona Conference, Federal and attorney ethics rules, case law rulings, and industry debate, this session will examine why platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack are breaking traditional eDiscovery workflows by decoupling communications from the underlying content and the core challenges that have resulted.

The session will also introduce the Reconstruction-Grade eDiscovery (RGR) Standard, which proposes an architectural solution to the challenges associated with hyperlinked files.  Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how these challenges impact eDiscovery workflows, why failing to address them can create significant defensibility risks, and what organizations should do to achieve a transparent approach to the hyperlinked files dilemma.

Key Discussion Points:

• Why modern collaboration platforms are disrupting traditional eDiscovery workflows
• The unique challenges posed by hyperlinked files and distributed data environments
• The “which version to produce” debate and its legal and practical implications
• Real-world data on how often linked files change after being shared
• The importance of transparency and defensible documentation in handling linked content
• An introduction to the RGR Standard and its role in shaping the future of eDiscovery

I’m excited to be presenting this webinar along with Lea Bays, Partner at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, Brandon D’Agostino, Vice President of Product at Cloudficient and Peter Kozak, CTO and Co-Founder of Cloudficient! This is the right group to discuss the latest legal and technical trends for hyperlinked files in eDiscovery!

Let’s face it: Modern collaboration within organizations has fundamentally changed how information is created, shared, and stored, which is challenging long-standing assumptions in eDiscovery. In this webinar, we will explore how hyperlinked files are reshaping both the legal and technical landscape of discovery, creating new risks, new obligations, and new opportunities for practitioners. If you want to know the latest legal and technical trends for hyperlinked files in eDiscovery (who doesn’t?), register here and join us on May 20th!

So, what do you think? Are you challenged by hyperlinked files and other types of modern data? If so, attend the webinar! And please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
