With electronic records and communications being added to paper records, new devices appearing every day, and an increase in remote computing the task of capturing it all and organizing it can become a daunting task. What types of records must you be concerned with? Which electronic records are part of the client file and how does a law firm or legal department manage this new and potentially very large collection of data?
How do you write a policy and procedures manual? How and when do you destroy client files, electronic communications and files? What are your ethical and malpractice considerations? Can documents be read by newer versions of software or do you need to retain older versions of software and hardware when updating?
This conference will help you identify areas of concern in records management and retention and ways to advise on appropriate actions. Our fantastic panel will discuss records management from creation/receipt through day to day workflow, to retention and storage and finally to structured destruction.
