	Ten Tips on Handling Cross-Border E-Discovery This lunch-time webinar on the cross-border e-discovery tips is presented by Alvin F. Lindsay of The Florida Bar International Law Section. While many lawyers are now up to speed on litigation holds, back-up tapes, data processing, and other issues related to the collection and production of electronically stored information in federal and state litigation, most have no idea that what is required by U.S. courts may be illegal abroad. Privacy laws, blocking statutes and a global hostility toward U.S.-style discovery require that the lawyer representing a foreign client in U.S. litigation proceed with extreme caution. This seminar, presented by Alvin F. Lindsay, a partner at Hogan Lovells and author of the book Technology In Litigation, will teach ten critical best practices for addressing e-discovery when the foreign client is subject to U.S. e-discovery obligations.    More Information
