ZEK has managed the discovery process, and counseled our clients, regarding e-discovery issues across a wide range of industries and commercial matters. E-discovery is now a critical aspect of both litigation and regulatory investigations. Often, trial and settlement results are determined by the proper management of data and the e-discovery process. Haphazard approaches to data preservation, collection and production for use in litigation or investigations can lead to costly sanctions and unfavorable outcomes. Businesses today must manage appropriately where and how electronic information is stored and establish information governance programs that ensure compliance with discovery obligations.
