Breakout 1 (for ‘Seniors’): Smartly Reducing Data Sets
Megan Frient (Procter & Gamble)
Richard Stout (Counsel On Call E-Discovery Division)
Tom Turner (Document Solutions, Inc.)
As the volume of electronically stored information continues to increase, it's more important than ever to dramatically and defensibly reduce the amount of data that must be reviewed by attorneys. New products and processes continually enter the marketplace, and this panel is loaded with thought leaders driving the innovation. This session will include the ramifications and guidelines laid out in prominent judicial decisions.
Breakout 2 (for ‘Juniors’): What Are the Real Costs in E-Discovery?
Carlos Provencio (Morgan Keegan)
Barry Willms (Counsel On Call E-Discovery Division)
A breakout session discussing situations with companies that handle a lot of work internally, or have smaller departments who handle everything… What do you do with that volume of data? What if you don’t have the budget to simply hand a complex matter over to outside counsel? What if you want to quickly design your own process but don’t know where to begin? The companies leading this breakout have faced these issues and will detail the true costs involved.
11:30 to 12:30 p.m.

Brian Edwards (SunTrust Banks)
Mike Lisi (Fidelity Investments)
Bringing technology in-house is always a difficult decision for corporate legal departments to make. SunTrust and Fidelity have weighed the financial factors, the volume of data their department manages, and their internal resources (including IT and legal staff capabilities) and will detail their respective decision-making processes.
Breakout 4 (JRs): What is Legal’s ‘Wish List?
Jaime Myers (Caterpillar Inc.)
Jim Reed (YKK Corporation)
It is always beneficial to learn about how different legal departments handle their various discovery processes, but what if you could start from scratch and set up the processes, team and spend how you want it? Would you have IT people dedicated solely to legal? Would you have a full suite of technology tools or prefer to work with a variety of vendors? How about the enforcement of document retention policies or recurring custodians within the company? Panelists will lead the group in an open discussion about the things they need, workflows and communication, and unearth ways we can all work better.
