The continued acceleration of new technologies and methods of communication within organizations. And greater regulatory scrutiny, rules and fines across jurisdictions and sectors.
CLOC Solution Lab: The Journey To Technology Modernization
The pandemic has impacted us all in many ways. For some, it has meant pausing, reassessing priorities and charting a course for the future. The same can be said for legal departments. Over the last year, many reports have been published indicating legal teams are seeking greater control of legal spend and self-sufficiency through technology modernization. While the goal for corporate legal is clear, to “do more with less,” the path to get there, what is needed and who should be involved, is not. To better understand the changes sought by law departments to increase efficiency through technology, FTI Consulting and the Blickstein Group conducted a study analyzing the road to technology modernization.

Accelerated use of cloud-based communication applications, increased reliance on artificial intelligence, and a remote workforce have made the already difficult task of executing an investigation more complicated.
Sudden Impact: How The Pandemic Changed Antitrust Investigations and Compliance
The pandemic and its ripple effects have impacted us all in many ways, including how we work. Suddenly, millions of workers worldwide made the shift to remote work -- adopting new schedules, communication systems, and business practices. Antitrust practitioners were no different. From North America to South America and Europe, competition authorities updated guidance on pandemic-driven cooperation, transitioned to virtual investigations and temporarily suspended certain merger review and office searches. Acceleration of remote-work-driven cloud communication and the need for remote document collection, only complicated matters further.
Avoiding Enterprise Data Governance Project Pitfalls
While data governance will look different for every organization, there are a number of challenges that arise in most initiatives. If CDOs and other data governance stakeholders can plan for these and address them at the outset, their projects will have a much greater chance for success. Most projects lag due to resource fatigue, decision overload, assessment dead ends and lack of technical resources. Misalignment of roles and responsibilities is another major project pitfall.

The Use of Technology in Irish Dispute Resolution and Compliance Monitoring
In this interview, Chris Dale of The eDisclosure Information Project spoke with FTI Consulting’s Grainne Bryan about the growing acceptance in Ireland that technology must be used to manage data in dispute resolution and compliance monitoring. Ireland has a strict discovery regime, and until the 2016 discovery judgment in IBRC v Quinn, it had not been considered appropriate to use technology to identify discoverable documents. The Quinn judgment changed that and the use of tools like technology-assisted review is now much more common.
Protecting Sensitive Data: Remote Employees, Trade Secrets and Data Loss
There is no question that the last few months have disrupted the workplace in profound ways. While the implications and timeline of this disruption are only just beginning to be fully realized, it’s clear that the transition to remote work for the vast majority of corporate employees has made data potentially more vulnerable to compromise, leakage and theft. Additionally, the upheaval of the global economy means that workforce shifts or reductions are likely inevitable. How can a corporation protect sensitive data in these circumstances? How do organizations detect and respond to data leakage and/or theft when it happens? And once data is compromised and litigation started, how do businesses put a value on what was lost?
Preparing For The Shift In Discoverable Data Caused By COVID

GDPR. LGDP. CCPA...In this sea of uncertainty, how do you keep your privacy programme afloat?
Data Privacy Implications of Cloud-Based Social Collaboration Apps
An array of cloud-based workplace collaboration tools and messaging applications have become standard inside organizations around the globe. Yet many companies are unable to control the growth, management and discovery of the data within these applications. Oftentimes third parties host the data,but lack standard export workflows or preservation policies and process, making it difficult to obtain, quantify or assess. And, perhaps most importantly for those concerned with privacy, these applications are often engineered to prioritize individual user privacy, at the risk of enabling any sort of organized governance.
Managing International E-discovery with RelativityOne

Integrating Data Privacy Into Your Organization’s Business Strategy
With the advent of regulations like GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, corporate leaders are beginning to recognize that poor data privacy risk management can harm competitive advantage, weigh down return on investment and have long term erosive effects on shareholder value. But how involved should executives be in privacy risk management decision making? And how can the corporate boards, the C-suite and legal and compliance stakeholders align business goals with privacy risk management?
The Growing Need for FTI's E-discovery Services in France
Thomas Sely is Senior Director at FTI Consulting in Paris. In this video Thomas discusses the demand for forensic technology in France, where FTI has been expanding its technology practice. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the uncertainty around Brexit had made it important for FTI to have a team in continental Europe – it set up an office 10 years ago in Paris, and is expanding its investigation and litigation support team.
Changing Trends in Forensic Data Collections
Software and technology providers such as Google and Microsoft now have discovery interfaces available to their clients, who have skilled staff who are able to operate these, and therefore able to make more use of these internal resources for forensic data collections.However, it is not always appropriate for an organisation to collect its own data. Technology has capabilities, but some due diligence may be required, and some more information about custodians, before simply turning to technology to solve problems.
Trade Secrets Theft: Legal Teams Weigh In on Prevention & Investigation

Data Management – From the Basements to the Boardroom
Data is a strategic asset and GDPR has raised the profile of data management from the basements to the boardroom and assigned a strategic value to understanding our data, how we use it, where we store it, how it flows between systems and processes and ultimately how long it should be retained and protected. In this short video, information governance expert Nina Bryant talks about how GDPR has been driver for organisations to assess both the risk and the value of the data they hold.
FTI Consulting’s Find Facts Fast Approach to E-discovery
There is a danger of treating discovery as a purely formal process, something done simply in order to meet an obligation. As Craig Earnshaw puts it in this interview with Chris Dale, the identification of facts often appears as a mere by-product of that formal process.
Daryl Teshima Talks About FTI Consulting’s Relationship with Relativity
In this interview, Daryl Teshima talks about the significant benefits for clients in offering both industry-leading e-discovery and document review platforms Ringtail and Relativity in order to give clients the widest possible choice and also offers FTI's experts a toolkit for solving problems big and small.

Wendy King talks about the always-available infrastructure of RelativityOne which allows FTI's consultants to focus on clients’ needs using whatever tools are suitable for a matter. Wendy places a particular emphasis on the training and support which FTI Consulting gets from Relativity.
The Changing E-discovery Expectations of Corporate Clients
The traditional model was that clients instructed lawyers in a matter – a litigation case or a regulatory inquiry for example, and the lawyers then instructed experts at FTI Consulting to deal with the management of electronic data. That, however, is changing explains Sam Farley in this video – it is not just litigation anymore and the instructions are no longer coming only from lawyers. Organisations are gaining greater control over the process as a whole and coming to FTI Consulting for longer-term organisational and pre-emptive advice and not just for a specific case or matter.
Craig Earnshaw on the Changes in E-discovery Over His Long Career
Craig Earnshaw has been working in FTI Consulting’s Technology segment for 10 years and had already spent ten years in the then-nascent e-discovery and Computer Forensics world before that. In this interview he talks about the changes which he has seen over that time, identifying three main changes. One is what he calls the "frequency of requirement" – the increasing need to look at data on a computer system for any disputes/investigations exercise. Second, he points to a rise in the number of lawyers who understand and practice in areas which require a knowledge of e-discovery practice. Third, Craig points to the range and diversity of companies delivering software and services to corporations and law firms.
Combining Contract Intelligence with Information Governance to Find Value in Your Data
How can you use Data Governance to add value to the organization? Information Governance and Contract Intelligence offer multiple ways to not only reduce risk, but gain efficiencies. IG programs have largely gone from catch-all, ‘boil the ocean’ pursuits to a series of concrete, practical actions an organization can take to reduce data volumes, become more efficient and protect data ‘crown jewels’. Contracts, when organized and mined effectively, can reduce risk and actually create value for the organization. Attend this session to learn how to apply IG techniques and utilize your contract universe to gain efficiencies and reduce risk.

Five Steps to Prepare for GDPR
When the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforcement kicks in this May, responding to data subject rights will be a challenge for many large organizations. The GDPR enables EU individuals to request corporations to inquire about what personal data they have on them or even delete their personal data. Requests must be responded to promptly, within one month, leaving companies very little time to perform a task that they may not be equipped to handle. No barrier exists for citizens to enact these rights, and some countries are planning campaigns to educate the public on them in the coming year.
Building an Intelligence-Led Cyber Program
With reports of major breaches surfacing with alarming frequency, Boards and C-Level management are increasingly looking to Legal to implement programs that help the corporation prepare for, and reduce fallout from, inevitable cyber incidents. How can in-house counsel implement the right measures to minimize damage to the corporate reputation, loss of key data and legal and regulatory penalties? And how can you make sure your team is not already behind the ball at the time of incident detection?
