- Monitoring for Departing Employees in Active Litigation and Discovery – September 26, 2005
Co-hosted by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and moderated by Meredith Kotler, partner
The discussion will address whether litigators should routinely monitor for departing employees, the implications of doing so, and modern approaches for monitoring.

This session will tackle the role IT should play in collecting information and how to delegate without abdicating control. Modern monitoring approaches will be discussed.
“Our research shows that in this litigation climate of severe sanctions for e-discovery failures, many companies are revisiting their processes for retention and discovery management,” said Deidre Paknad, founder of CGOC and president and CEO of PSS Systems. “It is critical for litigation and retention practitioners to understand what best practices are and what other practitioners are doing on the thorniest issues.”
