July 19, 2011 - Dan Regard and Neal Lawson to Speak at Masters Event in NYC July 19

Intelligent Discovery Solutions, Inc., ("iDS") a premier provider of information management consulting and technology services to multinational corporations, financial institutions and law firms, announces that managing directors Dan Regard and Neal Lawson will be speaking at the Masters Series for Legal Professionals event on July 19th, 2011, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. in New York City. Lawson will be part of the session titled “Social Media: Very loud, very effective, or very dangerous. How can it affect your company?” and Regard will present on “International Discovery: EU privacy, U.S. discovery and the Fifth Protocol”.

“iDS is pleased to be part of this educational event in New York. The Masters Conference is known for providing practical, CLE-accredited programs for lawyers and litigations support professionals,” Lawson said. “I know that attendees will gain practical knowledge on important issues that they can apply immediately to their everyday practice.”

Lawson’s panel of attorney and experts will cover the hot topic of social media and e-discovery. As this mode of communication is constantly evolving, the methods of addressing it when it comes to discovery are also changing. Firms and corporations should have plan in place to address social media, regardless of the stage of evolution. The presentation will touch on the unique aspects of discovery response planning and the basic steps of e-discovery as they relate to social media.

Regard’s panel will be relevant to legal professionals with clients and business interests that cross borders, as it will discuss recent developments in U.S.-EU data privacy and litigation discovery issues. They will also discuss an emerging “5th Protocol,” useful for the transfer of data from the EU to the U.S., the U.S. to the EU, or for any domestic litigation matter.

The event is designed specifically for -- and is free to -- attorneys from law firms and corporate legal departments and litigation support professionals, though in keeping with the Masters Conference format, space is limited. The educational event will offer CLE credit as well. Other sessions include:

  • E-Discovery Best Practices: Onshore v. Offshore v. Prioritized Review
  • Corporate Data Security and the Hacker Surge of 2011: What do you do next?
  • International Discovery: EU privacy, U.S. discovery and the Fifth Protocol
  • Embedded Discovery: How electronic conveniences affect discovery
