A Balancing Act: Mitigating Data Privacy Risks in Cross-Border Discovery
The intersection of foreign laws governing data collection and cross-border discovery operations continues to be a potentially volatile conjunction.

Laws potentially conflicting with discovery obligations include blocking statutes, requirements pertaining to works council agreements and, perhaps most significantly, data privacy regulations.
