Data is duplicative by nature, but the way your operation stores and manages data is likely exposing it to unnecessary and costly redundancy. Most organizations handling e-discovery today could very well have a cumulative data set that is anywhere from five to 10 times bigger than necessary.

Attorneys are bound by developing ethical rules and duties relating to e-discovery. These rules and duties deserve emphasis because courts, and clients, are increasingly concerned about the manner in which attorneys conduct discovery and, particularly, e-discovery.

Most lawyers know to advise their clients to preserve evidence in their “care, custody or control” relevant to pending or threatened litigation. But exactly how far does “control” go?

In their Federal E-Discovery column, Christopher Boehning and Daniel J. Toal discuss 'Winfield v.

Attorneys need to be aware of technological advances in terms of preservation of evidence and new avenues for seeking relevant evidence. Spoliation sanctions, including adverse jury instructions, have been issued for the failure to preserve text messages.

The perennial question of “possession, custody or control” may become more complicated in light of the U.S. Supreme Court recently granting certiorari in the landmark case of In the Matter of a Warrant to Search a Certain Email Account Controlled and Maintained by Microsoft. Companies will need to watch for this decision and its potential impact on discovery and information governance when data crosses borders.

Grappling with the delays and discovery motions, courts have fashioned more creative discovery processes. One such mechanism is the “quick-peek” agreement.
