Managing Data from Multiple Sources with Paula Fearon, Head of Projects Services, McCann Fitzgerald, Conor Gavin – Senior Director, FTI, and Eugene O’Neill – Managing Director, Reveal Brainspace
The means by which we communicate for business has changed utterly over the last decade. The impact of Covid and enforced working from home have accelerated these changes. It is now the norm to have meetings held virtually, use instant messaging to communicate with clients and colleagues, and rely on cloud hosting platforms for data storage and sharing. Great news for business efficiency, but is it bad news for those charged with collecting data for litigation, investigations, and compliance? This panel will discuss how to get a handle on your data by:
- Creating robust data maps
- Conducting custodian interviews
- Collecting data from all relevant sources
- Using the right tools to process, review and produce different data types
Embracing AI in Legal
This panel discussion will feature:
- Brenton Steenkamp, Forensic Integrity Services & Cyber: EY Advisory Netherlands
- George Socha, Brand Awareness at Reveal Brainspace, Co-Founder Electronic eDiscovery Reference Model (EDRM)
- Jonathan Flood, Haystack ID: Data Automation & European Operations
- Sinead Garnett, Johnson Hana International: Legal Operations & Solutions
In this session, it will be discussed the value AI offers to legal, with a particular emphasis on the use of AI in investigations, litigation, and other forms of dispute resolutions. The panelists will offer insights grounded in their respective areas of expertise as a lawyer, as a technical resource, and with forensics. Join, to get a share in theory, experiences, and examples of how you too can take advantage of the power AI offers to the legal world.
The panel discussion will be followed by the closing remarks and a drinks’ reception.
