Presented by:
Lily Ramirez, Lewis Brisbois
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and some state court rules like Colorado’s CAPP Rule 6.1, litigants are required to meet and confer early in a case to craft a discovery plan and discuss preservation and production of electronically stored information. As a result of these meet and confer efforts, parties often draft formal, written e-discovery or ESI protocols. These agreements are often entered by the judge as a formal order and controls the conduct of electronic discovery and ESI discovery requests in a case.
This CLE will explore how to understand the extent and location of your client’s ESI and how to initiate discussions with opposing counsel to arrive at a formal ESI agreement. We will discuss file preservation, ESI search methods, format of productions, the necessity of protective orders, and considerations for phasing of discovery and permitting rolling productions
