Please join the Antitrust and Business Litigation Section
at the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting
Thursday, June 23, 2011 - 9 to 11 a.m.

CLE presentation:
Foreign Data Privacy v. US Discovery Obligations:
Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

The program presents the challenges US litigants (particularly multi-national corporations) face in obtaining foreign discovery for use in US proceedings. Data privacy rules and blocking statutes may prevent the discovery sought, but US courts may nonetheless enforce US discovery obligations. This puts the responding party in the unenviable position of choosing which set of laws to comply with and which set to (at least potentially) violate. The program features views from the bench, counsel experienced in dealing with these issues in transnational matters, and data collection experts who will identify and discuss the issues and provide practical advice on how to minimize the risks involved. Panelists include The Honorable Lee Yeakel, United States District Judge for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division as well as Juan M. Alcala and Danielle S. Fitzpatrick from King & Spalding, and Tom Matzen and Jim Vaughn from Intelligent Discovery Solutions.

The Section’s annual membership meeting will follow from 11 to 11:15.
