06/29/2011

This InfoPAK is designed for use by both large and small corporate law departments in evaluating and discerning what technologies are available and best-suited to their company’s needs. As more technological resources become available to in-house counsel, counsel’s use of technology becomes more and more critical to running successful law departments. The InfoPAK begins by introducing counsel to basic technology and tools available. It then highlights some of the newer technologies that are becoming increasingly common within corporate legal departments, such as eDiscovery and Information Governance solutions, as well as advanced and emerging technology and trends within corporate legal departments. It then explores technology administration and best practices for managing technology, and concludes with key trends in the industry, including social media governance and cross-border eDiscovery.
