UK teams supporting a US matter meet the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which front load discovery obligations and punish preservation failures harshly. These guides translate the FRCP into terms a UK litigator already works in.

They cover the Rule 26(f) meet and confer, what goes into an ESI protocol and the form of production it fixes, proportionality under Rule 26(b)(1), privilege logs and clawback under Rule 502(d), and spoliation sanctions under Rule 37(e).

§ What these guides cover

  • What an ESI protocol is and what it must settle
  • The Rule 26(f) meet and confer agenda
  • Rule 34 requests and the form of production
  • Proportionality arguments under Rule 26(b)(1)
  • Rule 37(e) spoliation sanctions and clawback under 502(d)
