Electronic Discovery
While the vast majority of business owners never have to enter a courtroom, when they must – and this could happen for a number of reasons – preparation is essential to avoid pitfalls and to comply with complicated rules regarding evidence preservation and data production.
When facing a complex legal dispute, you need a sound and strategic plan for requesting and disclosing electronically stored information (ESI).
