Updated Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) now expect companies to preserve and produce electronic evidence and many states are following suit. According to a University of California at Berkley study, roughly 98 percent of information is created electronically and less than 3 percent of this information will ever see paper. As a result, Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is now the primary method of storing information, just as technology is the predominant form of communication. Responding quickly to electronic discovery and internal investigation requests will provide you with all pertinent information to properly represent your client.
