In his lunchtime keynote address, Owen will explore current developing trends, including social media, search technology, and impending rules reform. He will also offer his thoughts – from his perspective as a commercial litigator since 1973 – on future directions the law in this area might take in the decades to come.
Owen has more than 35 years of experience in New York commercial litigation. A nationally recognized adviser to financial services, energy and technology companies, he has handled hundreds of cases before federal and state courts and arbitration panels throughout the United States. Owen is widely recognized for his leadership in e-discovery, having been an early adopter of litigation support technology at the firm he co-founded, Owen & Davis PC, and then founding the E-Discovery and Information Management Practice at another national law firm.
