eDiscovery and Legal Solution

The dramatic growth in the volume of electronic information and the need for greater compliance with rules and regulations are well known, but less known are the advances in technology which can solve the challenges facing corporations and counsel. Technological advances can address the issues and burdens for legal, compliance and information governance.

Regulation is said to be increasing in volume and rigor even faster than legislation, with litigation increasing at an even faster pace than both regulation and legislation. The concern for corporate counsel and executives, as well as the board, is that regulatory breaches can trigger sanctions as harsh as those in litigation—including fines, removal of operating licenses, and even imprisonment. In a corporation, compliance with regulation may be handled either by an independent dedicated compliance department reporting to the board, as part of an independent risk management function, or a compliance function reporting directly into the general counsel’s office. Information access and collaboration across professional departments such as Compliance, Audit,and Risk are extremely important and require a platform that supports all aspects of proactive information governance.
