Overview:

In spite of rapid and widespread advances in technology, privilege remains one of the most expensive, time consuming, and difficult aspects of legal discovery. Even case teams that adopt technology assisted review to streamline responsiveness identification still rarely use AI to bolster traditional privilege workflows. This discussion with a panel of practitioners and industry experts looks at many of the common approaches to privilege identification, review, and logging; and identifies best practices, common gotchas, and considerations for those interested in updating privilege workflows.

While AI is already used in legal procedures such as technology-assisted review (TAR), due diligence, and research, practitioners are cautious about its use in privilege review for discovery. With proper integration, AI can greatly reduce the time required to identify confidential information. Moreover, AI-enabled privilege review can help detect data that manual reviewers often miss. But there are significant considerations when it comes to privilege and this event untangles and examines some of those considerations.

The potential of AI, analytics, and automation to streamline privilege review is vast. Thus, it is important to keep track of relevant developments to maximize this innovative approach.

Listen as a panel of distinguished professionals organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with a discussion on the current state of privilege identification, review, and logging. Speakers, among other things, will provide helpful tips to improve all aspects of privilege in discovery, including the use of automation and AI.

This LIVE Webcast will discuss the following key topics:

  • Best practices on privilege for eDiscovery
  • Reducing privilege volume
  • Defensibility and safeguards
  • Leveraging privilege calls across matters
  • Using technology to streamline privilege
  • Challenges and Pitfalls
