E-discovery is a headache for companies within the continental United States that are involved in litigation. If it isn't handled properly, companies can face fines or other sanctions. In a worst-case scenario, they can even end up waiving attorney-client privilege by accident, and as such handing their opponents evidence in cases against them. If all that can happen in disputes between two U.S.-based companies, imagine the complexity that's added when the dispute is a global one. With such complexities in mind, the Huron Consulting Group is sponsoring a panel discussion during the Interact 2008 conference in California. Specialists will tackle the challenges presented in the e-discovery process when the lawsuit involves companies in different countries. |
