Document review and production accounts for as much as 60 percent of total litigation costs, but generally, over 99 percent of the information collected could have legally been eliminated prior to the event.

When companies “clean-house” and proactively remediate data prior to litigation, the results are dramatically lower discovery and review costs. Even companies that have low to no litigation can reduce costs substantially for storage and be much better prepared should they find themselves in litigation. This session will discuss how in-house counsel can lead an initiative that reduces the amount of data their companies have by as much as 70 percent. The panel will lead a non-technical discussion on who should be involved, what existing IT resources are required, decision points and, most importantly, results.
