Talking TAR at the Meet-and-Confer - October 20, 2015

Helping Minds Meet: Talking TAR at the Meet-and-Confer – New Tools, New Conversations

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and H5

This webinar will address how counsel’s approach to the meet-and-confer may benefit from information about the data of their client and the opposing client.  It will discuss what counsel may need to share about their chosen technological methods and what they may want to ask to obtain the ultimate production that is needed.  Finally, the webinar will consider the specialized expertise that lays the foundation for an effective meet-and-confer addressing electronic information.

Educational Objectives:
• Understanding the data/issues counsel must deal with (on both sides) going into the meet-and-confer
• Importance of bringing the proper competencies in support of your position, including the interaction with experts who might play a role
• Importance of cooperation, collaboration, transparency, and ethical considerations
• Importance of knowing what you want to accomplish and having a workable plan of action

Who would benefit most from attending this program?
This webinar will benefit litigators and legal practitioners, both in-house and outside counsel, involved in matters where electronic discovery concerns and document review methodologies need to be understood and addressed/negotiated with adversaries.
