Modern attachments or old-fashioned hyperlinks?

What do courts expect when it comes to hyperlinked files in discovery?

So-called "modern attachments" — hyperlinked files found in emails, Slack, MS Teams, and other collaboration platforms — present real challenges for collection, preservation, review, and production. The In re Uber Techs., Inc. Passenger Sexual Assault Litig. case and others have highlighted why handling these files correctly — and early — matters. This webinar covers what the debate is about, how courts are ruling, and the technology considerations and future trends legal teams need to watch. For a follow-up look at how this issue has evolved, see our newer webinar, Revisiting Hyperlinked Files.
