E-Discovery Consulting and EY have again joined forces to present the 2
nd Annual New Zealand eDiscovery Conference. The Conference is taking place at the Stamford Plaza in Auckland on Wednesday the 19th of March 2014.
The companies say many law firms, barristers, corporate organisations and government departments have already registered, with most organisations involved in litigation represented in some capacity.
The challenges associated in managing the exponential growth of electronic information makes the eDiscovery process an unavoidable part of any litigation or investigation. The e-discovery process does present the legal profession with new challenges and requires a greater understanding from what many have been accustomed to.
The conference will provide an awareness of the evolving issues and complexities in managing electronic information, and importantly, provide a practical guide and tips to mastering the discovery process. By focusing on providing participants with best practices that can reduce the burden and cost of managing information electronically, this conference is a must for all legal practitioners.
The 2014 event will build on the success of the inaugural event in 2013 which attracted over 100 participants. The programme features new topics and speakers, including leading eDiscovery experts and practitioners from New Zealand and abroad.

- what the Judiciary expect from litigants in managing eDiscovery
