Too many legal professionals approach litigation and compliance investigations the same way, using the same technology, approach and people. But your approach to reviewing electronic information in internal and regulatory compliance investigations should differ significantly from the one you use for litigation.

Join us for an educational webinar with two experts in investigations strategy and e-discovery search techniques: Tom Gricks from Catalyst and Tracy Drynan from Drinker Biddle and Reath.

Our speakers will discuss best practices for the document review part of the investigation to uncover the comprehensive set of facts that are either not known or well developed—swiftly, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Key topics will include how to:

• Leverage the knowledge of known custodians to quickly expand the scope of the investigation, while you continue to collect and explore in real-time; 
• Use communication analytics to locate additional witnesses; 
• Apply effective workflows that avoid random search expeditions, track what you’ve uncovered and minimize the number of documents you need to set eyes on; 
• Use technology-assisted review (TAR) to start the review immediately, accommodate rolling custodian collections on-the-fly, and accommodate simultaneous, independent review streams; and, 
• Effectively explore the “unknown” using established tools such as contextual diversity, to ensure a comprehensive exploration of the document collection.

All registrants will receive a link to the recording and slides, and Catalyst’s newly released third edition of TAR for Smart People.

In his spare time, Tom hides out in a cozy cabin in the woods, a few hours from Pittsburgh where neither phones nor computers work well but the huntin’ is good.
