The Shifting Balances in Legal Services: How the New E-Discovery Rules are Changing Everything
| October 29, 2007 | ||
| 12:00 pm | to | 1:30 pm |
Electronic discovery audio conference: Central time. BNA Legal & Business Edge.
One year ago, BNA published a groundbreaking book that empowered corporate law departments to drive changes in how their outside law firms delivered legal services. Now, with recent court decisions that threaten lawyers with contempt because of their conduct around e-discovery, the imperative is clear-the new FRCP e-discovery rules are changing how corporations select law firms, and how law firms deliver competent legal services.
This webinar will present industry leaders in a discussion of how e-discovery is driving fundamental changes in the law firm-client relationship.
Participants will learn about:
- the issues addressed in new court decisions that focus on law firm competencies.
- how the BNA book is being used by corporate law departments to re-negotiate the balances among law firms, their clients, and e-discovery vendors.
- scoring models that are emerging that align law firm services against good-better-best business management practices.
- trends and “best practice” strategies that law firms are adopting to maintain their existing clients and gain new clients.
