The passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and subsequent increase in regulatory agency investigations have dramatically heightened the need for corporations to better understand the risks and requirements associated with audio data. The risks of non-compliance are high - one energy company was assessed $97M in regulatory penalties based purely on the evidence found inside its trading floor recordings.
Clearly, law firms and corporate counsel can no longer afford to ignore this important data source. But just as clearly, they need a better method of discovery for audio and video data, one that is time-efficient, cost-effective and defensible. The prior methods for handling audio — full transcription or human listening—are too costly and time consuming to manage as projects get bigger and more complex.
In this webinar, you will:
· Get updated on the latest legal interpretations concerning the use of audio and video in both litigation and regulatory matters
· Learn how sound recordings differ from other types of electronic information
· Get a Top 10 list of best practices for preparing your company and legal teams to manage audio discovery and review
· Understand how to create an efficient e-discovery workflow that puts to rest any notion that dealing with audio is “unduly burdensome” for either party
