Webinar: Your Workforce Moved to Chat — Your eDiscovery Workflows Didn't

Email used to be where consequential work happened. Today, the decisions, debates, and casual side-conversations that drive a company forward — and the ones that get litigated later — almost always start in chat. Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and the dozens of niche platforms layered on top of them have quietly become the primary system of record for how organizations actually operate.

The eDiscovery workflows most legal teams still rely on were not designed for that world. They were designed for email.

In this 45-minute conversation, Jason Richard, Chief Product Officer at StreemView, sits down with Arnold Blair, Discovery Counsel at MoloLamken, and Stephen Schultze, Senior Associate at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, to walk through what actually changes when chat replaces email as the evidentiary substrate — and what changes legal teams need to make in their next ESI protocol, their next vendor RFP, and their next meet-and-confer.

What's covered

• The post-email evidentiary landscape — why conversations, reactions, and hyperlinked attachments are not "documents" and why forcing them into document-shaped workflows produces silent recall failures.
• The 24-hour-segment problem — how arbitrary daily partitioning breaks Boolean and proximity search, and what defensible alternatives look like.
• Hyperlinked vs. attached files — practical guidance from recent rulings (including In re StubHub Refund Litigation) on how to negotiate cloud-linked content in an ESI protocol before it becomes a fight.
• Reactions as evidence — why thumbs-ups, checkmarks, and emoji can carry as much evidentiary weight as the messages they're attached to, and what reviewers need to see them in context.
• What to ask for in a production — concrete protocol language and request-for-production framing that holds up when modern data shows up in the case.

Who it's for

Litigators, in-house counsel, and discovery counsel who are running matters where chat data is in scope — and the eDiscovery service providers and case managers supporting them. If your last few productions involved RSMF, a Slack export, a Teams Purview pull, or a "we'll figure out the cloud links later" caveat, this one's for you.
