SEATTLE — Oct. 12, 2005 — Attenex® Corp., a leading software developer of unstructured content analysis and visualization tools for electronic discovery, today announced that its CTO Skip Walter will speak at the 9th annual Legalworks Electronic Discovery & Records Retention Conference series. Addressing an audience of more than 100 attendees, Mr. Walter will speak on a variety of electronic discovery panels discussing advanced strategies for finding, organizing and managing data more quickly, efficiently and cost effectively.
In light of the recent $1.4 billion damages judgment against Morgan Stanley and the $29 million damage award to Laura Zubulake, the conference will emphasize a strong focus on uncovering sound strategies and approaches to meet today’s electronic records retention and e-discovery challenges. Leveraging real experiences of the faculty as well as peer-to-peer knowledge, the conference will deliver to lawyers, senior management and corporate counsel innovative techniques and new technologies for responding to high-stake requests for content.
According to Mr. Walter, “The significant growth of unstructured data has created an incredibly challenging environment for anyone hoping to locate, manage and deliver specific content quickly. In response to this growth, a variety of methods and solutions have been created to help expedite a more efficient and effective discovery process. It is imperative for corporations and their law firms to be educated and open to adopting innovative approaches to electronic discovery and records retention.”
Legalworks will host the four 2005 conferences in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and London. Mr. Walter will participate in a panel titled “Searching the Electronic Haystack 301: Learn the Newest Approaches to E-Discovery Searching and How to Apply Them,” at the Chicago, New York and San Francisco events; and in London, he will reside on a panel discussing “Managing the Proliferation of Data.” For more information about the 9th annual Legalworks Electronic Discovery & Records Retention Conference series, including the First Annual E-Disclosure Forum in London, visit http://www.glasserlegalworks.com.
