Don’t miss CDS’ Bill Belt in this upcoming ACEDS panel!
In the world of eDiscovery, timing and precision are everything—but what happens when the first domino falls? One overlooked data repository. One unclear retention policy. One missed privacy obligation. Suddenly, your legal strategy is no longer defensible—it’s reactive.
In this CLE-eligible session, we’ll explore the Data Domino Effect, showing how gaps in data visibility and governance can lead to a chain reaction of legal, regulatory, and operational risks. Designed specifically for eDiscovery professionals, this session will unpack the essential links between data privacy, risk management, and information governance, and explain how legal teams can lead the charge in building a resilient, proactive data strategy.
You’ll learn:
- How upstream data issues create downstream legal risk
- Why “knowing your data” is critical to defensible eDiscovery
- How privacy, IT, and legal can break down silos to prevent costly domino effects
- Real-world examples where poor data governance hurt legal outcomes
- Best practices for building a unified data map across the enterprise
Speakers include:
- Fahad Diwan, JD, FIP, CIPP/M, CIPP/C, Director of Product Marketing, Data PSG, Exterro (Moderator)
- Jennifer C. Everett, Partner, Alston & Bird
- William W. Belt, Jr., Managing Director, Consulting, CDS
