May 12: Winning the Proportionality Fight: Strategies for Articulating and Countermanding Assertions of Burden

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burdensome discovery, and a sword, striking down otherwise reasonable discovery due to a party’s slow, expensive, or outdated processes.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 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.
Attend to learn:

• 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”
