On September 1, 2021, Marla Crawford, Compliance's General Counsel, participated in a live webinar hosted by the Practising Law Institute (PLI). The session focused on the fundamentals of eDiscovery law and practice, featuring discussions on data preservation, data review, and data production. Crawford was joined by Lauri Sawyer, partner at Jones Day, and Heidi H. Santangelo, assistant general counsel at JPMorgan Chase & Co. The webinar aimed to provide legal professionals with insights into navigating the complexities of eDiscovery.

The session covered key topics such as methods for searching for responsive documents, the mechanics of review, challenges associated with disparate data types, identifying and segregating privileged documents, and technology-assisted review (TAR) solutions. These discussions were designed to equip attendees with practical knowledge to effectively manage eDiscovery processes.

The webinar was conducted online, allowing participants to engage with the content remotely. While specific networking opportunities or an expo hall were not detailed, the event provided a platform for legal professionals to enhance their understanding of eDiscovery practices.

This event was particularly beneficial for attorneys, legal technologists, and compliance professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of eDiscovery processes and challenges.
