Jessica Kokal conducts CLE on litigation holds
Because of the growing body of case law regarding the duty to preserve, the importance of protecting the client and the firm from discovery sanctions is expanding and the future of this body of law is still yet to be seen. As a result, the firm is making every effort to educate its attorneys and their clients about the importance of litigation holds being sent at the right time and to the right people to ensure discovery and litigation move as smoothly as possible. Jessica Kokal, an attorney at Broening Oberg Woods & Wilson, presented on this issue and the existing case law nationwide in August of 2018, after which she spearheaded updating the firm’s policies regarding engagement letters and litigation holds to comply with the changing law.
