The amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure addressing e-discovery went into effect on December 1, 2006. One year later, it is time to review the new Rules with the hindsight of experience.

Proskauer litigators and our in-house technology specialist will share insights and provide practical pointers in this one-hour interactive webinar. Our goal is not to review the entire framework of e-discovery but rather, with the experience of a year under the new Rules, we will highlight what we have learned about:

• Corporate obligations to preserve data when a dispute is in the offing;
  
• Once litigation has started, dealing with opposing counsel;
  
• How to best prepare for the ESI conference with the court;
  
• The impact of the e-discovery rules on companies with records off-shore, especially in the EU;
  
• The impact of the "safe harbor" of Rule 37 on the potential for sanctions;
  
• The ethical issues raised by electronic discovery; and
  
• Developments in the state courts.
