This program will focus on managing the discovery of text and chat messages sent via personal and third-party messaging platforms, including the growing use of ephemeral messaging tools. We will discuss key considerations in preserving and discovering such data for litigation and investigations, including recent regulatory and caselaw updates, risks and challenges in overseeing such inquiries, and best practices for discovery, corporate compliance and planning. Given the DOJ, SEC and other agencies’ heightened scrutiny on message retention and control, the implications on cooperation credit and the increased risk of sanctions, this program will help legal and compliance professionals understand how to defensibly and efficiently manage these communications and inquiry responses.
