Identification and preservation are where eDiscovery cases quietly get won—or quietly get set on fire.

This episode is for in-house counsel, legal ops, and eDiscovery leaders who are tired of legal hold theater and surprised-by-retention-policy disasters. We break down Identification + Preservation (EDRM style), what “reasonable steps” under Rule 37(e) looks like in the real world, and why mobile/messaging data is now the main character.
