Shoddy preparedness can cost your company huge sums of money or even cause your company to cease to exist. Is your organization ready for the new FRCP?

Best Practices for Email Retention and eDiscovery

According to Gartner, the amount of business-critical data now stored in email is as high as 60 percent. In addition, 93 percent of all new data generated in business is electronic, and much of that ends up in the email system. Not retaining email can put your business at a disadvantage as well as raise your company's legal liability. Keeping email too long can also cause the same problems. Developing email retention policies is a complex task that must consider legal and regulatory obligations, organizational culture and structure, technology, and several other factors.

Industry expert Bill Savarino—a partner in the Washington, DC, law firm of Cohen Mohr LLP, which specializes in government contracts law, email retention law, and security clearance issues—will discuss best practices for email retention, proactive strategies for corporate governance, and enterprise risk management. You will have an opportunity to ask him questions as part of the webinar.
