Revisiting Hyperlinked Files

In 2024, we covered the landscape of “modern attachments,” but since then, we’ve been correctly persuaded to address them as “hyperlinked files.” We’re talking about those curious links to dynamic files and documents stored in Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and elsewhere that pose such delightful but distracting questions about how to collect, review, and produce them.

Since our first webinar on modern attachments, we’ve witnessed courts grapple with these questions, proving that hyperlinked files are a unique issue not going away anytime soon. In this follow-up webinar one year later, we provide up-to-date approaches, tips, and best practices on how to navigate this tricky and novel landscape… which promises to get even more confusing and messy in the future.
