• An overview of the evolving issues involving electronically stored information (ESI) from a business attorney's perspective at both a transaction and practice level.
• How to prevent inadvertent disclosure of client information buried within electronic documents, the cost of preserving ESI, security threats, privacy concerns, ESI-related regulations and associated liability.
• How responsibly to transmit, store, manage, and protect ESI while negotiating transactions.
•  Records management for family lawyers--handling client e-mails, financial records, and electronic records of separation, custody and visitation agreements.
