Global Discovery: Managing Proportionality, Privacy, Data Protection, and Other Challenges in Cross-Border Litigation

Monday, July 11, 2022

7:30 AM – 8:30 AM CEST

Location: Berlin 3

CLE: 1.0 Credit Hours

Cross-border discovery and the conflicts created between U.S. discovery obligations and non-U.S. data protection, blocking statutes, and privacy protections pose unique challenges for parties, practitioners, in-house counsel, and courts attempting to determine the appropriate scope of data preservation and discovery. The challenges and burdens are even more difficult to manage in the midst of a global pandemic, and are impacted by stringent data protection laws, balancing of privacy interests, data volumes and accessibility, and different communication and collaboration technologies. This panel will discuss those challenges, the standard for proportionality and accessibility, and sanctions that might result from a failure to preserve or produce data and documents, as well as creative solutions to accessibility.
