Including Educational Sessions and “Go Red” Campaign

Women in eDiscovery, a nonprofit organization that brings together women interested in technology related to the legal profession, today announced that it once again will support the American Heart Association’s “Go Red” campaign and host a half day of events at LegalTech New York.

Every year, Women in eDiscovery offers its members and other LegalTech attendees the opportunity to network and participate in panel discussions that share the knowledge and expertise of the organization. In addition to its educational discussion, attendees also will have the opportunity to participate in a “Go Red” campaign that raises heart-disease awareness.

All LegalTech attendees, exhibitors and Women in eDiscovery members are invited to participate in these events, which will be at the Hilton New York’s Concourse G on Thursday, February 6. 

Schedule of events

• 10:00 – 10:30 AM: Networking
• 10:30 – 11:30 AM: Panel Discussion: Corporate eDiscovery Management – Changing Times, Changing Roles (Applying for CLE Accreditation). Every company is struggling to reduce costs and increase efficiency. While companies are trying to control litigation costs, eDiscovery has increased – and continues to increase – those costs. Corporate counsel and outside counsel will share their thoughts on whether 2013 brought us closer to getting a handle on eDiscovery and information management and look ahead to the trends and best practices they see emerging in 2014. The panel will be moderated by Gail Gottehrer, partner, Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP. Distinguished panelists include Ashley O’Shea, director – Litigation & Discovery Management, Viacom, Courtney E. Ozer, Esq., senior counsel – Litigation, Unilever and Jennifer Hamilton, senior & global eDiscovery counsel at John Deere.
• 11:30 AM – 11:45 AM: Break
• 11:45 AM – 12:15 PM: Lunch and “Go Red” Campaign Raffle
• 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM: Working Group Session - After lunch, attendees will divide up into working groups to discuss a case study and develop strategies for responding to the issues raised by the case. Each group will bring together attendees with different perspectives on eDiscovery issues to ensure lively conversation and that a wide range of viewpoints are brought to the issues. A representative of each group will present the group’s recommendations to the larger assembly so attendees can reflect on the similarities and differences in the approaches taken by each group. Women in eDiscovery facilitators will be on hand to assist each working group.

Through its strategic alliance with LegalTech, Women in eDiscovery members are eligible for a discounted Master Pass to the conference. Please contact Amy Juers for details at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
