Central and Eastern Europe's largest and most wide-reaching annual legal event held in Prague, covering electronic evidence, computer forensics, digital investigations, and cyber security has added Patrick Burke of Reed Smith to its advisory board for 2013 in advance of its 20/21 October, 2013 conference in Prague.

I’m excited about joining the LTEC Advisory Board,” said Burke, “because this conference represents the growth of e-discovery, digital investigations, and cyber security in Central and Eastern Europe.

Patrick Burke, Counsel at Reed Smith LLP and a member of the firm’s Records & E-Discovery Group, is a highly respected specialist in the electronic discovery, disclosure, and forensics industry. Prior to joining Reed Smith, Burke was Senior Director and Assistant General Counsel at Guidance Software, Inc., a leading e-discovery and digital investigation software provider and the maker of EnCase.

He is a frequent public speaker, a member of the Sedona Conference working group 6, and holds CIPP/Europe certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

“We are very pleased to have Patrick join our Advisory Board,” said Frederick Gyebi-Ababio, Managing Director of eDiscovery Europe. “With his strong background in forensics, electronic discovery, and cyber security, he is sure to make a significant contribution. With Patrick's particular focus on cross-border electronic discovery and disclosure, European Union data protection and employee privacy, his acceptance to join the advisory board at LTEC can only be good news for the conference.”

“I’m excited about joining the LTEC Advisory Board,” said Burke, “because this conference represents the growth of e-discovery, digital investigations, and cyber security in Central and Eastern Europe. Reed Smith has active practices advising in each of these areas, serving clients in Europe through our offices in Munich, Paris, London and Greece.
