The world continues to find itself in the midst of a data explosion. This increased volume of electronically stored information has become even more essential in litigation and regulatory matters. The heightened importance and value of this information has driven organizations to re-evaluate how their information is managed. As organizations pivot from a reactive approach to e-discovery to one that is proactive, Information Governance has become an integral part of the process for managing these challenges.
E-Discovery and Information Governance in Canada, 4th Edition provides invaluable insights into e-discovery, organizational Information Governance, and the critical relationship between them. Formerly published as E-Discovery in Canada, this new edition is authored by Susan Wortzman and Lauren Fishman, two of Canada's highly respected e-discovery lawyers, plus a team of experienced contributors.
