ACEDS Australia New Zealand is a platform for IT and Legal professionals to learn, share, and connect with each other on the topic of E-Discovery. We aim to foster best practices in this field through various opportunities for education, training, and networking. To celebrate eDiscovery day, we invite you to join us for a light breakfast networking event, hosted by Simpson Grierson and ACEDS ANZ. Our speaker is Daniel Kalderimis KC, an expert in Civil Disclosure, who will share his insights and experiences on Access to Civil Justice.

Our agenda is informal and flexible, but it will include:

• An introduction to ACEDS ANZ
• A presentation on Access to Civil Justice (with a focus on disclosure)
