Kimberly Larkin, Julia Sherman, Kelly Renehan and Anish Patel have authored the “Using Technology and e-Disclosure” chapter in the first edition of Global Arbitration Review’s The Guide to Evidence in International Arbitration.
E-disclosure – or the production of electronically stored information (ESI) is increasingly prevalent in international arbitration. More and more information is being transmitted and stored in electronic and technological form and this has led arbitration practitioners to seek, and tribunals to order, substantial amounts of e-disclosure. This presents both opportunities and challenges for international arbitration practitioners.
The chapter looks at the current state of play on production of ESI, e-disclosure practices in the United Kingdom and the United States, technological solutions and strategies, and determining the need for an ESI database.
