PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
To set a defensible response plan, I need to understand how quickly we can collect and review material at scale and what labor/works-council steps could slow interviews or messaging. I also want to surface any operational or handling risks that could undermine our credibility if questioned later, including any prior access-control or employee-sensitivity issues that might require extra safeguards.

eDiscovery & Legal Operations Manager's goal: ROLE: eDiscovery & Legal Operations Manager

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
To propose a feasible collection and review approach, I need clarity on the regulator’s timeline and how privilege boundaries should be applied so we don’t over-collect or mishandle sensitive materials. I also want to anticipate where the investigation could intensify or expand in ways that change volumes and tooling needs, and to understand whether any employee-related sensitivities could require special collection methods or communications controls.
