TRILANTIC Assembles Leading Experts for International E-Discovery Track at LegalTech New York

Jan. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- London – TRILANTIC, a leading U.K.-based legal support provider focused on electronic discovery services, announced today the members of two exclusive panels assembled for the International E-Discovery track at LegalTech New York being held February 1-3, 2010 at the New York Hilton. The track, sponsored by TRILANTIC, includes two sessions; each session features a unique collection of specialists in the area of European Union (EU) data privacy. The panels will introduce and discuss EU data protection rules and their practical implementation, including how corporations must respond to U.S. litigation and regulatory matters involving data held in the EU.

The importance of understanding EU data privacy issues when embarking on electronic discovery outside of the U.S. cannot be understated. Litigation, regulatory and compliance matters often require rapid data collections, which if not done according to the rules, could result in breaking criminal laws. Corporate and law firm attorneys therefore must stay abreast of current laws and regulations governing that data to ensure it is handled properly throughout every step of the process.

Participants in the session panels include:

From the EU
Senior Master Whitaker, Senior Master of the Supreme Court and committee member of the Hague Convention
Chris Dale, the e-Disclosure Information Project
Vince Neicho – Litigation Support Manager, Allen & Overy LLP

From the U.S.
Judge Peck, Magistrate Judge, Southern District of New York
Browning Marean, Partner, DLA Piper LLP
George Rudoy, Director of Practice Support, Shearman & Sterling LLP
Florinda Baldridge, Director of Practice Support, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP

The International E-Discovery track will be held on the first day of the show, Monday, Feb. 1, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in the Mercury Suite. Attendees of the track sessions will gain a broad understanding of the issues and specific knowledge about handling data in the EU.
