K&L Gates partner David R. Cohen will be one of the speakers presenting “An Ounce of Prevention:  Your 12-Step Guide to Avoiding e-Discovery Disasters," on Monday, April 28 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.

This session will introduce risk managers, as well as counsel, to the hot topic of e-discovery and discuss concrete steps to reduce risk exposure and costs related to records management and e-discovery.  A series of 5- to 10-minute videotaped vignettes will show scenes from a sample litigation matter involving e-discovery issues.  Relevant information about new rules and case law will be summarized by the panelists and by a federal court judge from one of the videos.  With your input, the scenes will serve as a springboard for an interactive discussion on records management and e-discovery readiness steps.

Additional speakers at this presentation include Michael Lubben of Ryder System, Inc. and Debra Samuel of Alcoa Inc.
