Speakers discussed various ways to successfully approach electronic discovery, which refers to any process in which electronic data is sought, located or secured, and searched with the intent of using it at as evidence in a civil or criminal legal case. Highlights included a discussion of why the construction industry is at the forefront of E-discovery technology, how to begin preparing for E-discovery before a project begins, and which types of data must be preserved for construction projects.
