FTI Technology LLC, the e-discovery business segment of global advisory firm FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), today announced the availability of a RAND Europe report entitled "E-Discovery and Legal Frameworks Governing Privacy and Data Protection in European Countries." The complimentary report, which is available for download at the FTI Technology site, provides guidance on a common challenge for multinational organizations: preserving EU citizens' right to privacy versus the duty to produce relevant emails and documents for legal or regulatory investigations.
"Whether for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act or a multinational legal matter, many corporations struggle with how to collect and produce relevant information in a safe and defensible manner," said Joe Looby, senior managing director practicing in the FTI Technology business segment. "While multinational e-discovery is complex, this RAND Europe report shows that there are reasonable processes that legal teams can follow."
Incorporating guidelines from the European Directive's Article 29 Working Party, the Sedona Conference, as well as national data privacy experts from five European countries, the RAND report is a practical review of data privacy requirements and processes that will help corporations and law firms legally collect, process, review and transfer data for litigation, regulatory requests or investigations in line with European values. For those involved with multinational e-discovery, the report includes a checklist of recommended actions, as well as an appendix of country-specific requirements for France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
