“For better or worse, you’re probably aware that in the United States, people say that they hate lawyers … but they sure seem to like lawsuits. Increasingly, these lawsuits have run head first into records management challenges in the electronic age.”
That’s how Workshop co-leader, Jonathan Redgrave, introduces his approach to his fascinating work as a U.S. attorney dealing with mega-volumes of records in long-span litigation up and down his nation.
Don’t imagine it’s only a Stateside problem. Recent rorts in Australia and New Zealand show that the problem’s on this side of the Pacific and it’s growing faster than many jurists know. Jonathan and his colleague and co-leader, Lori Ann Wagner, bring “a few cautionary tales of woe” with them but have a bigger message: that records managers are critically important to helping modern business organisations get it right.
In this workshop, they’ll work through the why and the how.
Jonathan is a nationally and internationally recognized expert on electronic discovery and electronic information and records management issues. He has spoken at virtually every significant programme addressing these issues in the past five years and has been a principal or contributing editor or author to many authoritative works on these topics. He was one of the original architects and currently serves as Chair of The Sedona Conference Working Group on Best Practices for Document Retention and Production.
