The Masters Conference, October 14

New York, NY (October 8, 2009) – Inference Data President Nicholas Croce and Hughes Hubbard & Reed eDiscovery Counsel Mira Edelman will present a Masters Conference session addressing the impact of new media applications and platforms on the electronic discovery process. The session, “Beyond Email: Legal and Practical Implications of 21st Century ESI,” will be held Wednesday, October 14, 10:30 am in the Ronald Regan Building & International Trade Center, Washington, D.C.

Mira Edelman is a litigator with more than eight years’ experience handling discovery matters in complex litigation and a founding member of the eDiscovery Committee of the Washington, D.C. Bar Association Litigation Section. Ms. Edelman has developed firm-wide “best practices” at Hughes Hubbard & Reed for handling eDiscovery, and managed various aspects of document review and production in federal courts and multi-district litigation. She also advises the firm’s litigation teams with respect to negotiating the scope and terms of discovery.

Nicholas Croce has dedicated the last 15 years of his career to developing advanced electronic discovery technologies. As president of Inference Data, he has led the development of the company’s advanced analytics software for electronic discovery, Inference, and advises major law firms on incorporating e-discovery technology into their business models.

Mr. Croce and Ms. Edelman will discuss how lawyers should approach collection, preservation, processing, review and production of data from 21st century media such as such as Facebook, Twitter, cloud computing, instant messaging, digital voicemail and social enterprise software with an eye toward managing risk and controlling costs. These two eDiscovery experts will also address what sources parties must disclose in discovery and how new media may be the next treasure-trove of discoverable potentially relevant information in terms of both tangible data and facts.
