Seeking to help local attorneys better manage their international discovery responsibilities, the New York City Bar Association’s E-discovery Working Group has released a cross border e-discovery guide.

Entitled “Cross-Border E-discovery: Navigating Foreign Data Privacy Laws and Blocking Statutes in U.S. Litigation,” the guide looks at state and federal case law that pertains to cross-border disputes and discusses best practices for handling domestic discovery obligations when faced with conflicting legal statutes, among other things.
