Women in eDiscovery (Iowa Chapter) Meeting - 48 Hours to Preserve, or 48 Months to Regret

48 Hours to Preserve, or 48 Months to Regret.

Preservation is not offboarding. What legal teams should do in the first 48 hours after a resignation.

John Wilson · Chief Information Security Officer and President of Forensics, HaystackID (moderator)

Rene Novoa · Senior Director, Digital Forensics, HaystackID

Dorothe Schuch · Director, Digital Forensics, HaystackID

Runtime: 45 minutes content + 15 minutes Q&A

 VISION + GOAL

What the talk does, for whom

Every departing employee transition includes a 48-hour window during which the legal team determines whether a future dispute is winnable. Most organizations miss it because they treat the transition as an HR and IT event. It is an evidence event.

For Women in eDiscovery members: in-house legal, paralegals, and law firm eDiscovery leads. Educational, not promotional.

Goal: the audience leaves able to protect evidence in their own organizations on Monday morning.

EMPOWERMENT PROMISE

One sentence

48 hours to preserve, or 48 months to regret. By the end of this hour, you'll know what should happen in those 48 hours, and you'll be able to spot an offboarding process that quietly destroys the evidence legal needs.
