About This Webinar

Since the 2015 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, proportionality has taken on an increasingly central—and some may argue, disproportionate—role in discovery disputes. In today’s battles over electronic evidence, proportionality can act as both a shield, allowing parties to avoid unnecessary and overly burdensome discovery, and a sword, striking down otherwise reasonable discovery due to a party’s slow, expensive, or outdated processes.

Join us Wednesday, May 12, for this upcoming webinar on proportionality disputes in eDiscovery, featuring seasoned litigators David Slarskey and Renee Bea of Slarskey LLC and Mariano Schwed, Senior Vice President, Law Department at NBCUniversal.

This webinar is accredited for one hour of California MCLE credit.

Agenda

The evolution of the proportionality standard and traditional metrics used to evaluate burden
Sources of actual burden and tools and strategies for reducing them
Accurately articulating and countermanding assertions of “burden”
Substantive advantages to getting “ahead of the burden”
