Staying Up To Speed In A Fast-Changing e-World
It has long been the law that an obligation to preserve potentially relevant evidence attaches when an action or investigation is commenced against a person or company, but until quite recently few companies had formal policies addressing that duty. The last few years have seen a seismic change in this area, driven largely by concerns about electronic records. Recent independent surveys of corporate general counsel confirm that companies have been taking steps to formalize their preservation practices when litigation or enforcement activity becomes reasonably likely.
