I work with corporations and their lawyers to develop defensible information governance programs, including the development of policies, retention schedules, procedures, records management organizations, and training materials to ensure employees understand and adopt changes to their records management practices. I also work with organizations to assess their privacy risks, and to implement the policies and processes to help them comply with relevant privacy regulations.

I also work with these companies to ensure that their people, processes and technologies will support an efficient, repeatable, and defensible e-discovery process, when electronic records are requested in litigation, investigations, or other legal matters. I assist corporations in assessing their readiness to respond to an electronic discovery obligation, and develop response plans that companies can use to strengthen the credibility of their e-discovery programs.
