Masters Conference Announces LWG Consulting as a Sponsor at 2010 Event

Aug. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- ORLANDO, FL - The Masters Conference, an advanced legal educational experience, announced today that LWG Consulting will be a sponsor at its 2010 conference. Since 1984, LWG Consulting has supported legal professionals, insurers and corporations involved in complex investigations by providing expert electronic evidence discovery and computer forensics services. This year’s Masters Conference theme is “Litigation and Discovery in a World of Technology,” and will be held October 4-6, 2010 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C.

As nightmares surrounding the Gulf Oil Spill are about to take full hold, Corporate USA is bracing for another landmark litigation that will most likely produce a plethora of discovery data that needs to be collected, processed and subjected to attorney review. Legal teams are most likely going to have to sift through and collect massive amounts of data in both paper and electronic form, just as they did for Exxon. Although the Exxon litigation is still fresh in legal minds, it is more than twenty years old. This industry has seen transformational changes due to Exxon, Enron, Microsoft, IBM, tobacco and pharmaceutical litigation, and it expects to see the same from the Spill. Scenarios such as these drive amendments to the FRCP, The Sedona Principles, EDRM and the EU Directives.

The Masters Conference brings together leading experts and professionals from law firms, corporations and the bench to develop strategies, practices and resources for managing the information lifecycle. This year’s conference will focus on how corporations can protect themselves against the risks associated with global, mobile and cloud-based opportunities and challenges. It delves into legal hold strategies, international privacy laws, high-profile scandals, security breaches, IP threats, increased litigation, audits and regulatory investigations.

Presentation topics for the conference include litigation, electronic discovery (e-discovery), risk management, ethics, cloud computing, compliance and legal holds. Attendees will hear from industry experts including general counsel from Fortune 100 companies, federal judges, officials from government agencies and law firm managing partners. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are available.
