eDiscovery was built for an on-premise world of static files and email attachments, but today’s enterprise data lives in collaborative, cloud-native ecosystems where documents (including hyperlinked files) are continuously edited, permissions shift, teams reorganize, and context quietly disappears. Yet many eDiscovery workflows still rely on assumptions that no longer hold true in today’s modern data world.

In this interactive discussion, we’ll explore why traditional eDiscovery tools struggle to keep pace with how work is conducted today and how a context-aware approach can help legal teams reduce risk, improve defensibility, and regain control over modern data. Drawing on real-world challenges faced by corporate legal teams, this session will examine how understanding behavior, identity over time, and data lineage changes everything from custodian identification to proportionality decisions.

Topics Include:

  • Why modern collaborative work breaks traditional eDiscovery workflows

  • Understanding the Context Gap and why context is the new evidence

  • The importance of temporal identity context, behavioral context, and document context to reconstruct “who knew what and when”

  • Defining Context-Aware eDiscovery and illustrating what it looks like in practice

Whether you’re grappling with collaborative data, repository sprawl, or uncertainty around what happened and why, this webinar is designed to challenge old assumptions and discuss a way forward that addresses many of today’s modern data challenges in eDiscovery.
