This program will focus on managing the discovery of text and chat messages sent via personal and third-party messaging platforms, including the growing use of ephemeral messaging tools. We will discuss key considerations in preserving and discovering such data for litigation and investigations, including recent regulatory and caselaw updates, risks and challenges in overseeing such inquiries, and best practices for discovery, corporate compliance and planning. Given the DOJ, SEC and other agencies’ heightened scrutiny on message retention and control, the implications on cooperation credit and the increased risk of sanctions, this program will help legal and compliance professionals understand how to defensibly and efficiently manage these communications and inquiry responses.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Rise in remote work and the use of text and ephemeral messages, personal devices, and third-party messaging platforms for business
  • Discoverability and preservation of personal and corporate device messaging
  • Updates to DOJ, SEC and other regulatory agency and caselaw guidance
  • Compliance and litigation readiness strategies for corporate messaging and device use policies
  • Best practices for discovery and challenges in managing mobile data reviews

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
