Wortzmans' lawyers have decades of experience dealing with public sector e-Discovery, information governance and technology solutions and we can be engaged quickly and easily to provide legal services.
Public sector organizations regularly face pressing and important legal and information challenges as a result of the explosive growth of digital information. However, they often lack the agility to bring on the necessary resources to effectively and efficiently resolve these challenges.
We have a wealth of expertise in privacy and security, investigations, ATIP, FOIA, Standing and Ad Hoc Committees, Audit matters and challenges related to public sector procurement processes and the need for information security assurances. We provide clear and concise legal advice related to defensibility in e-Discovery projects, defensible retention and deletion in information governance projects, and compliance with legislative and regulatory obligations.

Litigation Readiness
Very few public sector organizations are fully prepared to respond to a litigation disclosure request or other documentary investigation such as FOIA or ATIP. Yet for almost all public sector organizations it’s a question of when, not if. This lack of preparation increases the legal risks, the costs, and the disruption to the organizations.
Wortzmans helps control the cost, risk and disruption by working with your team to develop and implement a litigation readiness plan.

Information Governance
Information governance is a multi-disciplinary approach to managing information at an enterprise level, supporting an organization’s immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, business and operational requirements.
The financial liability of ungoverned information continues to grow. The time wasted in finding necessary information, the cost of hardware for storing and backing up redundant, obsolete and trivial information (ROT) and the lack of effective knowledge management all have an impact on public sector budgets and service levels.
Working with your business units, IM and IT groups, Wortzmans will help you get your information under control. We provide advice on classification, retention, defensible deletion, as well as BYOD, e-mail, legal hold, and acceptable use policies. We are committed to making public sector information an asset, rather than a liability.
