Labor & Employment Law

The dramatic shift from paper records to electronically stored information is making Labor and Employment Law cases more complicated and more costly for those corporations which are unable to produce data required by the court.  It has become necessary for corporations to act quickly to preserve any relevant information upon the first threat of litigation and prior to executing termination procedures.  Electronic evidence has been useful in cases involving wrongful termination, intellectual property theft, discrimination, restrictive covenant disputes, and trade secret disputes.  We offer a complete line of services in support of Labor and Employment Law Practitioners, including but not limited to:

¨ Helping your clients to identify relevant data, the different formats in which the data may be stored, and the many different devices on which the data may reside

¨ Project management and organization of teams between your corporate clients’ legal and IT departments to ensure the evidence is collected and  produced in a timely and cost effective manner

¨ Data collection and on-site forensic acquisition of the electronically stored information

¨ Searches of metadata which may reveal downloading, transfer, or destruction of sensitive information

¨ Searches for e-mails, pictures, videos, instant messages, and office documents which may prove guilt or innocence of sexual harassment or discrimination

¨ Monitoring of internet communications and browsing histories which may reveal inappropriate usage of a corporation’s network

¨ Case management for more complex human resource litigation

¨ Training for corporate IT departments in data collection procedures
