Dearest EDRM Community,
Word of the week: Renewal.
In legal tech last week, the EDRM team was out of office for the Thanksgiving holiday, taking time to rest and recharge as we prepare for a busy December.
Save the date for the 11th annual eDiscovery Day on December 4! Founded by our Trusted Partner Exterro, this year’s theme focuses on “AI, Risk, and the Future of eDiscovery.”
Mary Mack, EDRM.
As part of the day’s programming, EDRM will host the webinar Hybrid Work, Hybrid Risks: Guidance for Governing E-Discovery in an AI World at 2:30pm ET.
Let’s remain united in our support for each other. For support or to assist a colleague, contact us at info@edrm.net and join our weekly Community Support Call, now in its sixth year.
