In an increasingly globalized economy, the practice of law has expanded across borders as companies' employees, actions and influence continue to spread through multiple jurisdictions. The varying privacy laws of different countries, industries and even states have far-reaching implications for law practitioners within the electronic discovery sphere. The growth in big data and cloud storage has only compounded these challenges for e-discovery professionals.
