Contoural Announces Seminar Series on Issues Facing Legal and IT under the New Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

Mountain View, Calif. (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Contoural, Inc., a leading independent provider of business and technology consulting services for litigation readiness, compliance, policy development and data and storage strategy, today announced an ongoing series of complementary seminars, to be held across the country, on the impact of the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The series is co-sponsored by Symantec Corporation.

New amendments to FRCP as of December 1, 2006 require organizations to address e-discovery issues at the outset of litigation. The new rules are forcing companies to reassess their strategies for litigation hold and discovery, focusing on electronically stored information.

The seminar series will feature Mark Diamond, chief executive officer and president of Contoural. He will provide legal and technical perspectives on the issues of e-discovery and FRCP. In addition, he will discuss the impact of these new federal rules on organizations and cover other aspects of litigation readiness.

Topics covered during the seminar series include:
* Who is impacted by FRCP
* How FRCP impacts IT
* Whether it is a legal or technology issue
* How archiving improves retention, disposition, hold and production
* How archiving reduces costs of e-discovery search and review
* How FRCP fits with other drivers such as regulatory compliance requirements
* Who needs to be involved
* What are emerging best practices


More than 96 percent of the documents that most companies receive and create today are in electronic format. FRCP requires a company to know what information it has, where it is stored, and how to find it very quickly. It is imperative that companies be litigation ready, creating effective policies that can be successfully executed from an IT perspective. Legal departments need to define the policies for retention, disposition and discovery. IT departments must respond to strict requirements around the preservation of email and document files, and they need to be prepared to testify regarding the preservation and production of documents relevant to litigation matters.

Upcoming seminars will take place in Los Angeles, CA, Iselin, NJ, Charlotte, NC, Saint Louis, MO, Cincinnati, OH, Salt Lake City, UT, and, McLean, VA. Additional locations will be announced.
