Zubulake v. UBS Warburg

Zubulake v. UBS Warburg is a landmark legal case that established guidelines for electronic discovery (e-discovery) in lawsuits. It involved Laura Zubulake, who alleged gender discrimination, and addressed how companies must preserve and produce electronic evidence like emails. The case emphasized that organizations have a duty to retain relevant digital information once litigation is anticipated and must comply reasonably with discovery requests. This decision clarified the responsibilities of corporations to prevent the destruction of electronic data, shaping modern legal standards for handling digital evidence during legal proceedings.
