Aaron Crews, eDiscovery Counsel at Littler Mendelson, will be presenting two sessions.
The evolution to cloud computing is on the rise for financial services firms around the country, allowing users to have greater flexibility, mobility and storage space at a fraction of the cost of traditional technology software. However, cloud computing is a very complex and cutting edge issue for financial eDiscovery professionals since it is so new to the industry. This session will discuss steps to transition the organization to the cloud, issues associated with placement and retrieval of data, as well as litigation matters associated with cloud computing.
The eDiscovery process involves professionals from within the financial organization, outside law firms, vendors and consultants. Regardless of whether the company has one eDiscovery specialist or a seasoned eDiscovery team, it is essential that all parties involved in the process are on the same page, particularly for financial firms that are not as involved in constant litigation. It is important that each member involved in the eDiscovery process has the same understanding of the expectations for litigation and the basic regulatory precepts.
Aaron Crews, member of Littler Mendelson's eDiscovery Practice Group, provides focused guidance and expertise on electronic discovery matters to the firm's lawyers and their clients and handles court appearances that address eDiscovery matters. He assists with developing strategies for efficient data harvesting and implementing cost reduction strategies. Aaron is an adjunct professor at McGeorge School of Law and frequently lectures on eDiscovery and computer forensics issues.
