Global e-Discovery legislation is no longer being driven by U.S. litigation. In 2009, country-specific e-Discovery rules have emerged in Asia for the first time. Australia's Practice Note CM6 and Singapore's Practice Direction No.3 now spells out guidance for dealing with e-Discovery under litigation filed. Hong Kong's latest Practice Direction 5.2 allows parties to exchange documents without having to prepare lists of documents, litigates commercial contract disputes in HK and enforces judgments in China. As e-Discovery becomes ever more important in investigations, legal and IT departments are struggling to comply with ever tightening rules and regulations. A variety of regulatory requirements, privacy laws and information security requirements mandate much more rigorous information governance practices.Gathering a host of experienced legal counsels, IT professionals and litigants, the e-Discovery and Digital Forensics conference brings you up-to-date with case management and cost control, while taking an in-depth and integrated look at e-Discovery and ESI collecting, processing and reviewing.
