How You Can Avoid Gross Negligence in E-Discovery
An Important Webinar

DID YOU THINK eDISCOVERY WAS GOING TO GET EASIER?

Two well respected e-discovery icons discuss the impact of Judge Scheinlin's latest significant case: Pension Committee of U of Montreal v. Banc of America Securities including three common failures that can result in gross negligence.

Our exclusive webinar will feature prominent US Lawyer, Browning Marean, Counsel, DLA Piper.  Joining Mr. Marean will be Tom O'Connor of Gulf Legal Technology. 

The Pension Committee of the University of Montreal Pension Plan, et al. v. Banc of America Securities, LLC, et al., U.S. District Court (Southern District of New York, January 10, 2010).) Some key quotes:

  • "Possibly after October, 2003, when Zubulake IV was issued, and definitely after July, 2004 when the final relevant Zubulake opinion was issued, the failure to issue a written litigation hold constitues gross negligence because that failure is likely to result in the destruction of relevant information."   Opinion, p.9
  • "For example, the failure to collect records -- either paper or electronic -- from key players constitutes gross negligence or willfulness as does the destruction of e-mail or backup tapes after the duty to preserve has attached." Opinion p. 10
