The ACEDS UK Chapter invites you to join them for a webinar on how COVID-19 is currently effecting the eDiscovery industry and how it will help change how legal services are provided in the future.

Moderated by Chris Dale, speakers will discuss:

• The practicalities of remote working for eDiscovery professionals across all aspects of the EDRM including remote collections, data transfer, secure remote access to review tools, remote document review, virtual hearings/trials, and more
• What the current crisis means for the eDiscovery business – are we seeing disputes/investigations slow down? Will we see them pick up again in the future? What law firms/service providers/technology providers in the ED space stand to prosper now and in the aftermath of this?
• What positive benefits does the eDiscovery industry stand to gain from this change in the world order? Greater cultural acceptance of remote working? An increasingly diverse workforce? Opportunities for providers/law firms outside the big commuter belt markets?
