    By Rena Andoh and James Salem | February 9, 2018

    Unrung Bells and the Quick-Peek Order  

    By Thomas G. Rohback and Brooke Oppenheimer | February 2, 2018

    Grappling with the delays and discovery motions, courts have fashioned more creative discovery processes. One such mechanism is the “quick-peek” agreement. Viewed as a mechanism for parties to exchange data quickly without the fear of waiving privilege or its subject matter, courts started to consider the mandatory use of the quick-peek to streamline discovery in 2014.

    Three Strategic Choices in E-Discovery

    By Christine Payne and Michelle Six | February 2, 2018

    Electronic discovery gets a bad rap. Most lawyers find it unappetizing, high risk, and unglamorous. This perspective, however, overlooks a key litigation opportunity: developing e-discovery strategy hand in hand with trial strategy. It's the best approach for achieving solid results for your clients.

    Regulator Preservation Notices—Can You Narrow the Scope?

    By Robert Lindholm and Lucie Cohen | February 2, 2018

    A federal or state regulator, such as the SEC or a state attorney general, sends a company a preservation notice stating that it believes the company may possess “documents” relevant to an ongoing investigation and requests that the company “reasonably” preserve such evidence until further notice. How should the company respond?

    Beyond Document Review: Meeting Other Big Data Challenges

    By Bruce Hedin and Michael Morneault | February 2, 2018

    Years after Judge Andrew Peck declared it to be “black letter law” in 'Rio Tinto', technology-assisted review has finally entered the mainstream among a growing suite of technology-driven e-discovery tools. It is taking a bit longer, however, for practitioners to fully recognize that document review over large data populations is an information retrieval task.

    Getting It Right the First Time: Avoid the Dreaded Privilege Log 'Re-Review'

    By Marc R. Shapiro and Kelly M. Cullen | February 2, 2018

    Privilege logs are loathed by the attorneys who create them, the judges who review them, and the clients who pay for them. And the only thing worse than creating a privilege log is re-creating a privilege log. While we can't promise a pain-free process, an organized approach upfront will help avoid this judicially-mandated infliction of pain.

    CFTC 2018 Enforcement: Where the Puck Is Going

    By Zach Brez, Allison Lullo, and Giselle Sedano | January 26, 2018

    Over the last year, the CFTC continued to align itself with other, more frequently-lauded enforcement agencies like the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. But the CFTC also closed out its fiscal year having brought only 49 enforcement actions, nearly 30 percent fewer actions than in FY2016, and obtaining orders totaling approximately $412 million in restitution, disgorgement and penalties, amounting to only one-third of the $1.29 billion garnered in FY2016.

    Traversing the Minefields: Outside Counsel May Face Criminal Liability in Complex Business Cases

    By Todd Blanche and Kyle DeYoung | January 26, 2018

    When a complex transaction directed by a CEO or CFO is later deemed criminal and the executive is charged, what exposure could outside counsel face having advised and presumably approved the transaction?
