According to a recent survey, only seven percent of corporate attorneys rate their companies as “prepared” for the electronic discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The survey results are not surprising since many in-house legal departments have taken a back seat, allowing outside counsel to manage their discovery needs. However, the risks associated with spoliation of electronic evidence are starting to bring corporate counsel into the driver’s seat as the road to the collection of evidence may begin well before the retention of outside counsel to handle a litigation matter.

As corporate counsel get more involved in litigation matters and document retention policies and practices, they will feel more confident and comfortable with the electronic discovery-related changes to the FRCP. IDS-LEGAL helps legal departments in making reasonable and defensible choices regarding the collection, preservation and production of documents.
