Clutch Group, through the leadership of Varun Mehta and Brandon Daniels in the marketplace, has become a leading provider of services that support legal and compliance
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 28, 2016
Clutch Group, a leading legal, risk, and compliance analytics and consulting firm, is pleased to announced that Brandon Daniels, President, Clutch Group moderated a panel - “Battle In The Bronx | The Requesting Parties' Roadmap to Broader Discovery” at the 2016 Electronic Discovery Institute (EDI) Summer Meeting.
This continues a close relationship between Clutch Group and EDI. Previously, Brandon Daniels had moderated a panel, “Data Surveillance: Dealing with Privacy, Complex Data & Company Culture”, at EDI’s 2015 Leadership Summit held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“The amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that were adopted this year have the potential to create a salutary shift in the current model for discovery,” says Brandon Daniels, President, Clutch Group. “I look forward to unpacking the complex issues of proportionality and enhanced preservation requirements with my fellow members of the panel.”
This panel, composed of industry experts, discussed the strategies developed by both requesting and responding parties in the six months since the federal rules of eDiscovery were amended. The importance of the newly emphasized concept of proportionality in the federal rules as well as the recently defined scope of discoverability of electronic information were discussed as well.
Brandon Daniels was joined on the panel by:
- Wayne Matus - Managing Director, Global Head of eDiscovery – UBS AG
- Marla Crawford - Vice President, Associate General Counsel – Goldman Sachs
- Dawson Horn - Associate General Counsel & Vice President – AIG
- Anthony Mosquera - Senior Counsel – Johnson & Johnson
“Clutch Group, through the leadership of Varun Mehta and Brandon Daniels in the marketplace, has become a leading provider of services that support legal and compliance in response to investigations and litigation – particularly in financial services,” says Patrick Oot, Partner at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP and co-founder of EDI. “The requesting party roadmap was important to our in-house participants and we appreciate the producing party insight that Brandon and the panelists provided to our sold-out New York meeting. The panel provided timely insight and synced perfectly with Clutch’s recent FCA-alumni hires. EDI appreciates Clutch’s participation in our programs and we look forward to their upcoming session at EDI Summit in October.”
