Legalweek Continues with Sessions on Workplace Data, Privacy, and Ipro’s Happy Hour
Summary
The panel also discussed the Benebone v. Pet Qwerks case that I just covered on eDiscovery Today on Monday (great timing!) It’s worth noting that Ipro conducted a webinar last November related to collaboration apps and eDiscovery/Governance titled Taming the eDiscovery and Governance Dragon: Experts Discuss Slack, Microsoft Teams and Other Collaboration Platforms that I was honored to participate in, with Charles Nguyen, Frederic Bourget, and Jim Gill. Among the considerations discussed by the panel was Microsoft’s response to the Schrems II decision, with their press release promising to “challenge government request for public sector or enterprise customer data – from government – where there is a lawful basis for doing so” and to “provide monetary compensation to these customers’ users if we disclose their data in response to a government request in violation of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)”, which “exceeds the EDPB’s recommendations.” The panelists covered a variety of rules and responsibilities to help attorneys to not only understand eDiscovery, but also to conduct it as efficiently and effectively as possible. And Leeanne Sara Mancari, Of Counsel at DLA Piper, reiterated that the standard for when work product protection and duty to preserve is applicable is the same – the anticipation of litigation. And, Ryan Joyce, Senior Vice President at Ipro (who’s been with the company for 18 years), briefly discussed some of the upcoming features and enhancements to the Ipro suite in the areas of analytics and AI, integrations to support the EDRM life cycle from beginning to end, and revamping the handling of messaging and collaboration apps, which (ironically) is where the day started!
