Sitting at over 12M daily active users, Slack has completely changed the way we exchange information and, consequently, how we discover it.

The most recent example? The ruling in Red Wolf Energy Trading, LLC v. BIA Capital Mgmt., LLC.

From public and private conversations to files, gifs, third-party integrations, and more, Slack has become a common source of ESI in litigation. Yet even the most forward-thinking, risk-averse legal teams run into challenges when it comes to capturing and preserving Slack data.

In this webinar, we’ll walk you through the first steps in forming a proactive eDiscovery plan for Slack, including the dynamic nature of Slack data, the impact Slack has made on the discovery process, data retention settings, and your options for eDiscovery.

What you’ll learn:

  • What is Slack and what makes Slack data unique
  • Common eDiscovery challenges when collecting from Slack
  • Options for preserving and archiving Slack communications
  • How Slack is optimizing app integrations to address the proliferation of scattered, hard-to-reach data
