Live Talks
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to disrupt work operations globally, and the impact on Disputes and Investigations is real. The massive introduction of remote working creates a greater reliance on technology such as messaging systems, video conference, and shared-working platforms. It results in the creation of even larger amounts of relevant documents that can be disclosed in litigation, arbitration and investigations. It makes collecting electronic evidence today significantly more complicated and challenging than five years ago.
Cross-border cases also create additional complexities which must be taken into account when planning an evidence collection exercise. During this Live Session, we will discuss how to deal with electronic disclosure in courts and investigations in Russia, Ukraine and CIS-related cases.
