At the ABA Annual Litigation Conference, Kramon & Graham trial attorney Justin Redd will participate in a panel discussion on the intentional destruction of ESI. Offering practical advice to legal practitioners, "Spoiling for a Fight -- Preventing, Spotting and Addressing ESI Destruction" will help counsel understand when to be on heightened alert for the potential of ESI spoliation, how to identify red flags, and how to efficiently detect whether ESI spoliation has occurred. The presentation will provide a useful framework for conducting a base analysis and determining when additional analysis is worthwhile. It will feature a discussion of available legal strategies, options, and remedies in response to an adversary's spoliation of ESI. Importantly, the professional obligations to be considered by counsel for the requesting party and for the producing party will be discussed. Click here to register.
