Two Key Conflicts in Discovery

In this working group, two key conflicts were explored to help legal departments reduce risk and cost.  The first conflict was the inherent differences in IT and Legal department points of view and processes which presents a tremendous challenge to preserving data efficiently and reliably.  The second conflict was the conflict of law between US discovery obligations and EU privacy laws.  With specific prohibitions against searching and transporting employee and customer data, companies have very tough choices when US litigation or discovery encompasses data beyond our shores.
