It's that time of year once again … LegalWeek! ALM's LegalWeek is one week where thousands of legal professionals gather to network with their peers, dive deeper into their professional development, explore topics and strategies tailored specifically to their role, and gain the tools to get legal business done. The LegalSpeak show has now become a regular staple at the conference as we talk to some of the leading legal minds across the industry. In this episode, Zack and Alaina sit down with Patrick Oot, Partner at Shook, Hardy & Bacon.
Listen to a new format for ESIBytes as serial E-Discovery entrepreneur Karl Schieneman, President of Review Less and who will be joined by Special Host on a recurring basis, the Hon. John Facciola. We will interview those in E-Discovery who are making their marks by trying new approaches and try to get behind the story of their successes into what the world was thinking when they were trying to change the field. We will talk to those who have made historical impacts as well as those today who are trying out new approaches and perhaps are challenging the status quo. We hope to provide a unique view into risk taking in E-Discovery from the perspective of those who have or are taking risks and also analyze the important role that mentoring plays in the lives of our guests both looking backwards and looking forward. Our first guest for this program will be Patrick Oot, a Shareholder at Shook Hardy& Bacon who has had well publicized stints at the SEC overseeing e-Discovery, Verizon where he oversaw e-Discovery and helped Verizon be named as a Top 10 Most Innovative legal groups by Inside Counsel magazine in 2007, and has been influential in spearheading research into better review approaches with people and technology as a founding member of the e-Discovery Institute. We are thrilled that Patrick has agreed to join us as we launch a new version of ESIBytes.
Every law firm can run into incidents of employee misconduct, data breaches, and intellectual property theft. In the age of modern technology, data breaches, insider trading, and other security problems require extensive technological forensics. Partners and firm owners, as well as lawyers working within the firm, need to understand why a digital investigation is needed, what steps should be taken within an investigation, and who should be involved. Having this knowledge can save the firm thousands of dollars while uncovering the truth. In this episode of Digital Detectives, Sharon Nelson and John Simek interview ediscovery and compliance attorney Patrick Oot about how attorneys should be prepared on technology issues when they start to investigate criminal and civil matters. Everyone leaves technology footprints, Oot explains. Whether dealing with an internal investigation or with client data, the most important asset is unbiased, comprehensive, and well documented research. When hiring a digital investigator, the firm should always find an outside expert who is experienced with data breaches, understands how data moves through the system, and can manage proper narrative to the regulators. Properly conducting a digital investigation can make the difference in the credibility and success of a law firm. Patrick Oot is a partner in the DC office of Shook Harty and Bacon LLC where he leads the practice on e compliance and digital investigations. He is one of the few ediscovery and compliance attorneys in the nation that possesses the tripartite experience of an in-house corporate counsel from a fortune 16 organization, a senior attorney at a federal regulatory agency, and a partner in a large law firm. Patrick has extensive experience advising on discovery and investigative matters involving commercial litigation, compliance, regulatory requests, antitrust matters, and personnel issues. Special thanks to our sponsor, Digital WarRoom.
