A year ago, the three of us covered the landscape of “modern attachments” but since then we’ve been correctly persuaded to address them as “hyperlinked files.” We’re talking about those curious links to dynamic files and documents stored in Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and elsewhere that pose such delightful but distracting questions about how to collect, review, and produce them. The past year has also witnessed courts address (struggle with?) these questions and attempt to pose workable solutions while parties push back and sideways and argue around in circles.
All joking aside, these are truly unique issues that are not going away, and we provide up-to-date approaches, tips, and best practices on how to navigate this tricky and novel landscape … which promises to get even more confusing and messy in the future.
