E-Discovery Nuts and Bolts Anthony Johnson LL M

The use of electronic evidence has become a necessary element to deal with in order to solve crimes committed with or through electronic devices. Today, all litigants have a duty to request and disclose responsive electronic evidence in their cases. Whether your cases are small or large, an international tax or trust case, discovery issues relating to electronically stored information "ESI" will have to be addressed and resolved. The "Panama Papers" as they have been dubbed, unveil the offshore holdings of 140 politicians and officials, including 12 current and former presidents, monarchs, and prime ministers. They show how money was moved around and hidden by at least 33 people and companies blacklisted by the United States for allegedly doing business with rogue states, terrorists, or drug barons. No doubt, international tax lawyers and organizations accused of wrongdoing will need to learn how to set up a litigation readiness program to ensure the proper identification and preservation of ESI in efforts to exonerate themselves and avoid being labeled as a firm or tax jurisdiction which do not respect international tax good governance standards. This book will aid and assist the international tax lawyer on how to develop an E-Discovery Litigation Readiness Program in the event to protect themselves in the event that litigation is imminent, pending, or impending.
