AMEC's CLE Seminar:
Electronic Discovery for In-House Counsel in the Entertainment and Media Industry

Like it or not, electronic discovery is the most significant development of the last decade in litigation and trial practice.  There are a multitude of electronic discovery seminars on the market, with most being a hyper-technical off-the-shelf re-hashing of complicated compliance standards.  None have specifically addressed the need to understand the complicated legal structure associated with e-discovery in the entertainment and media industry…. Until now!

AMEC presents an E-Discovery seminar unique and specific to the entertainment and media industry.  If you’re a transactional attorney or litigator who deals with entertainment and media content on a day to day basis, you can’t miss this opportunity to learn everything you’ve always wanted to know:

  • How do electronic document management protocols differ for media & entertainment companies?
  • How do you handle emails from high-ranking entertainment executives?
  • How does an entertainment company handle the transmission of data from FTP and web-based internet sites?
  • How does electronic discovery impact the idea submission and content development process? 
  • How is electronic discovery best utilized, and what are the unique issues in patent and trade secrets litigation? 
  • How best to manage the high cost of electronic discovery in a conglomerate and vertically integrated business environment?
In a classic AMEC format, a group of experts will explore electronic discovery requirements and controversial issues specific to media and entertainment companies.
