Is There a Middle Ground between Document Over-Preservation and Allegations of Spoliation? An Analysis for In-House and Corporate Counsel

Program Number: 2308

Program Date: 06/11/2013

Description

Although the general obligation to preserve documents and potential penalties for spoliation are clear, the scope of the required preservation is often unclear. As a result, a company that must decide how broadly to preserve often ends up going beyond its obligations, which can result in great expense and inconvenience. In this program of particular interest to in-house and corporate counsel, Carmen McLean, a partner at Jones Day, explores ways to minimize both over-preservation and exposure to spoliation allegations.
