The panelists discuss their vast experiences propounding discovery requests, negotiating discovery and e-discovery stipulations with opposing counsel, and drafting responsiveness and privilege review protocols. The panel offers practical insights regarding best practices for selecting and working with e-discovery vendors and contract reviewers while minimizing costs for your clients.
