Larry Besnoff, Esquire, Co-Chair of the Labor Relations and Employment Law Department at Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP, will lead a lively and interactive presentation regarding the potential pitfalls with using personal information gleaned from the Internet in making hiring and firing decisions. Are employers free to use information placed on social networking sites as a basis for employment decisions? Is the information privileged? How reliable are the data? What if the information is inaccurate? Can employers search employees' usage of social networking sites? What happens when the employee's first amendment rights conflict with an employer's interests? If an employer fails to Google and check social networking sites, is it being set up for a negligent hire or negligent retention claim? Must applicants be told that the employer will Google all applicants? This Webinar addresses these and other interesting questions.

As corporate legal departments and their associated procurement teams consider strategies for managing the spiraling costs of document review, discussions often revolve around whether outside counsel, an external provider, in-house lawyers, or a combined group should lead the process.
However, the real issue is not who will perform the document review, but rather, how the review will best be performed.
In our webinar, hosted by Barry Wiggins, Director and National Service Line Leader of Deloitte?s Document Review Services practice, we will discuss why the combination of technology and knowledgeable personnel who can interact with the tools using techniques such as predictive coding, concept clustering, and key term searching, can improve efficiency without sacrificing defensibility. Prior to the webinar, you can read our whitepaper on the topic here.

The expansion of compliance regulations and mandates for information management coupled with the increase in litigation support and discovery requests has resulted in organizations struggling to keep pace. Recent studies among General Counsel, CIOs and Records Managers revealed alarming findings for enterprise records management:
*68% reported having no formal methods in place for accessing and managing e-records for discovery
*Only 13% managed e-records in compliance with a records retention schedule
*42% found retrieval for discovery purposes challenging due to improper or inadequate tools for identifying, preserving and collecting data
When it comes to discovery, having too much information and keeping that information longer than legally necessary exacerbates the risk and cost of discovery, as well as storage and administration costs. Records and Information management policies and programs can help organizations meet today?s growing legal and regulatory compliance obligations. Get practical advice for reviving your enterprise records and information management program to reduce the pain and costs associated with discovery. Attend this webcast and learn how to:
*Establish compliant records and information management policies and procedures
*Map your data to your records retention schedule to destroy information once it is not legally required
*Apply these best practices to all types of information including paper, email and other electronic documents and data objects

Early Case Assessment or ?ECA? is one of the most misunderstood terms in the e-discovery lexicon. It variously means anything from a detailed, multi-step, total-case review process to a specific type of software that culls and creates load files. Trying to understand it, let alone master it, can seem daunting to say the least. However, truly understanding ECA as a process and a technology is the key to creating the strategic approach you need to optimize this very crucial part of the litigation cycle.
Please join our distinguished panel of legal professionals from the law firm, government and consulting arenas to discuss practical steps you can take to avoid common pitfalls and make your ECA process pay dividends. What should your ECA efforts be 30, 60 and 90 days out from the start of a matter? Should you do wholesale or targeted collection? How can you optimize your keyword search? And what about pre-collection auditing? Plus, how can you optimize the human input that makes your technology work best? And finally how can you accomplish all of this while keeping costs down? Our panelists have the real-life experience to answer these questions and more, so please join us to see how you can make your ECA process strategic and proactive rather than ad hoc and reactive.

General counsel, outside counsel and eDiscovery solution providers are moving from a reactive form of eDiscovery run matter-by-matter to a more proactive, strategic approach that emphasizes integrated applications and repeatable business processes. This change is driven by the need to achieve cost predictability across the discovery portfolio, enhance preparedness and defensibility, and drive greater efficiencies and consistency in how data and work product are used across matters.
This webinar will explore how this fundamental change to eDiscovery as a consistent, integrated business process impacts law firms and their clients. What are the drivers behind this transition, and how do they impact not simply eDiscovery technology and solutions but the relationship between law firms and their clients? What impact, if any, does this have on how eDiscovery activities are conceptualized and deployed? How are law firms managing this transition, and what are the chief obstacles that they are encountering?
In this webinar attendees will learn:
*How to decipher the relative merits of different architectural approaches: on-premises, hosted or hybrid
*How new approaches to preservation, early case assessment and legal repositories impact the process
*How this transition is fundamentally altering relationships between general counsel and outside counsel
*How technology integration and automation impacts eDiscovery project management
*How to measure and assess the transition to a more proactive form of discovery

According to recent research from the Market Intel Group, "Cloud computing will be a disruptive technology that will ultimately change the face of computing.? With a market approaching $300 billion over the next five years, this seemingly unstoppable migration of data to the "cloud" isn't without significant risks from a legal and compliance perspective.
When the subject ESI is stored in the cloud, it can complicate the electronic discovery process. For some, this can lead to sanctions and increased compliance risks. To navigate these treacherous waters, organizations need to be proactive and follow a "measure twice, cut once" approach.
This webcast will explore how electronic discovery in the cloud is different from traditional (premises-based) discovery challenges, with particular focus on strategic considerations, as well as any risks attendant with conducting alternative approaches.

From ?Celtic Tiger? to ?Irish patient?, Ireland has been the subject of extensive commentator discussion and analysis in recent years. 2011 has now seen positive signs of real recovery and resurgence which commentators have taken as encouraging signs that the worst may be over for Ireland.
Challenges certainly remain, in particular in the form of unemployment and personal debt issues as well as the continuing state of flux in the national banks. Ireland?s prospects for an export-led recovery are also inevitably linked to the global outlook. Ireland had made considerable progress however in extracting itself from the emergency that forced it in 2010 to negotiate a support package with the EU/IMF. Wage cuts and price deflation have restored Irish competitiveness and Ireland?s current account current account deficit is moving slowly into a surplus. The result: Ireland is beginning to regain the confidence of global investors.
In addition to Government policy, the critical importance of international investment, and in particular US foreign direct investment and US sourced deal activity, is clearer than ever. Please join our panel of lawyers for a webinar roundtable discussion about recent developments in Ireland and how, under the right conditions, recovery and resurgence have been made possible in Ireland.
The panel from Matheson Ormsby Prentice will be moderated by Pat English, corporate partner and senior member of the firm's US Business and Inward Investment Groups. Pat will be joined by Robert O'Shea, partner and head of the firm's International Business Group; Patrick Spicer, partner and head of the Corporate and Commercial Department ; Tax partners Shane Hogan and Mark O?Sullivan and, from New York, the head of the firm?s US Offices John Ryan.
The panel will focus on the following topics:
-an overview of Ireland in the last 12 months, including measures to stabilize the Irish banking system and the renegotiation of Ireland?s support package with the EU/IMF;
-tax policy, in particular Ireland?s 12.5% corporate tax rate and prevailing views in Ireland and the Eurozone in relation to the proposed Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB);
-foreign direct investment trends into Ireland and the reasons for Ireland?s continued place as a preferred jurisdiction for investment from the US; and
-M&A deal and market update, including opportunities created by the terms of the EU/IMF support package and the Government?s commitment to raise EUR2 billion through the sale of Irish state assets to fund job creation projects.

How can corporate legal departments leverage attorney work product across multiple matters? How can they process documents once but re-use them across matters? And how can corporations and their outside counsel increase eDiscovery efficiencies in the face of increasing data volumes?
Combining cloud-based repositories, technology and innovative processes as part of end-to-end eDiscovery enables general counsel and their law firms to address both preservation and legal review challenges, especially re-using documents and legal work product across matters. In this webinar special attention will be directed to the built-in capabilities and processes required to ensure that data security, confidentiality and privilege are maintained across matters and between parties
Specific use cases and trends that leverage these strategies will include how to:
-Spend less time reviewing irrelevant content and more time analyzing building a case strategy
-Filter, partition and extract data subsets for review
-Lower legal costs by reusing data and work product across multiple matters
-Leverage the cloud for unprecedented scalability

Whether in response to a specific complex litigation or as cost containment in response to on-going litigation, it is critical to carefully consider what to outsource and what to implement in-house. Outsourcing the entire project can be a ?leap of faith?? sometimes with a law firm unfamiliar with the corporation?s comprehensive IT software suite, or sometimes to a Legal Service Provider with whom they are not yet comfortable, from a legal perspective.
