The issue of data privacy is a growing concern as the generation and storage of electronically stored information (ESI) continues to increase. The challenges of handling digital evidence will only increase as companies expand their use of artificial intelligence (AI). In litigation, sensitive information is often involved, making data security a top priority for corporations and law firms during e-discovery. E-discovery also plays a role in internal investigations, regulatory compliance audits, shareholder disputes, and trademark infringement claims, further highlighting the importance of data protection and privacy throughout the e-discovery process.
