Overview (Program Summary)
United States litigations and government investigations involving international data is on the rise. The global scope of economic activity, and the incorporation of multi-national operations is no longer limited to large multi-national corporations. Due to remote workers and the adoption of a broader international workforce, US companies of all shapes and sizes are incorporating international employees within their business strategies and operations. This increase in scale and efficiency has created a surge in incidents involving cross-border and multi-language data transfers for US-based litigations, internal, and government investigations. Companies are leveraging a wide range of new international technologies and applications to increase productivity while leveraging an ever-expanding global workforce to increase their international footprint. With this globalization of the US workforce, US-based companies and lawyers must deal with an ever-changing global market when collecting, reviewing, and producing international custodians’ data for US-based litigations and investigations. This session will address how to resolve the US eDiscovery challenges during collection, review, and data transfer of internationally located data for US matters. Discussion points will include:
- Complying with non-U.S. data privacy laws and regulations.
- Navigating foreign technology during the data collection process.
- Resolving cultural issues and misalignment with US matter goals that may arise while conducting cross-border eDiscovery.
