eDiscovery Confidence Surveys are a useful way to take the pulse of attitudes and expectations in the eLitigation space. The recent Spring 2024 eDiscovery Business Confidence Survey [https://bit.ly/4axPRlz] paints a generally rosy picture of current and anticipated activity levels across the EDRM landscape. In an industry that seems to be currently dominated by the impact and potential of AI and LLMs, it was interesting to see that the greatest challenge identified by respondents was “Increasing Types of Data”. Evolving data types need to be identified, collected, analysed, reviewed and ultimately presented at hearing. It’s a challenge that is top-of-mind for our team at elaw, who routinely engage in research, development and testing of potential evidence formats and the most effective ways to cater for them using software and methodology. The most recent example is our revolutionary evidence presentation app, Ostentus. Ostentus integrates seamlessly with RelativityOne, enabling users to present – at hearing or deposition - any data type that can be viewed in RelativityOne. To discuss your data challenges or to learn how to leverage Ostentus, RelativityOne and other tools to your advantage, contact us for expert advice - https://bit.ly/45rOH9M #Litigation #eDiscovery #DocumentReview #EvidencePresentation #eTrials #Innovation

The total fines imposed by the SEC and CFTC for violations associated with firms’ failure to monitor and capture communications by employees on unapproved devices and systems (off-channel communications) are approaching $3 billion. The SEC recently resolved enforcement proceedings involving off-channel communications against 12 broker-dealers and four affiliated investment advisers. The resolutions require the 16 respondents to pay more than $81 million aggregate in civil penalties and retain compliance consultants to review their electronic communications practices. As in prior resolutions of off-channel communications matters, the respondents all admitted the facts alleged by the SEC and acknowledged that they violated the federal securities laws. This article analyzes the latest round of settlements. #HFLR #offchannelcommunications #recordkeeping https://lnkd.in/efmf8JjY
