--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Deputy General Counsel (Antitrust & Litigation) (speak, public): Good morning, everyone. To ensure we're aligned on the subpoena response, let's start by confirming our understanding of the scope and timeline. We have 21 days for the initial production and 12 custodians identified. Can we confirm these details and discuss any initial steps we've taken or need to take?
[R0.2] Head of Compliance & Ethics (speak, public): To confirm, we have identified 12 custodians and have 21 days for the initial production. On the compliance side, we've begun reviewing our training completion status and prior audit findings to contextualize the subpoena. Our document retention practice shows sales emails are retained for 7 years and Teams chats for 180 days. I'd like to understand from the legal perspective - do we have a high-level view on potential exposure that might influence our preservation and collection scope?
[R0.3] Director of Finance & Risk (speak, public): The initial investigation budget is $750,000, with a PO required for any spend above $25,000. Outside counsel has proposed a blended hourly rate of $690/hr, estimating around 1,100 hours. The eDiscovery vendor has quoted $45/GB for processing, with an expected volume of 120 GB. We're also required to notify our insurance carrier within 10 business days, as the policy limit is $5,000,000. We'll be providing weekly spend reports every Friday, with an 8% variance threshold.
