Information Governance is an integral part of legal training. Information Governance seeks to consolidate, manage, and protect all data generated by any given organization as well as secure compliance with all associated regulations. Legal professionals require a comprehensive understanding of Information Governance in order to anticipate and plan for such scenarios.

Internal counsel benefits tremendously by having Information Governance included as part of their training - it forms the basis for learning collaborative efforts in risk mitigation and provides a foundation of knowledge that can be applied to create effective processes for information security, privacy, and retention.
