Rapid changes in export controls, data-transfer laws, and geopolitical dynamics are rewriting the rules for global discovery. Legal teams must navigate new restrictions on data movement, heightened scrutiny of cross-border workflows, and the operational hurdles created by fragmented regulatory regimes. This session breaks down the emerging export rules shaping international eDiscovery and offers practical guidance for keeping investigations, regulatory response, and litigation strategy compliant and efficient across jurisdictions.

Discussion topics include:

• What recent export-control changes mean for cross-border data transfers and hosting decisions
• Designing discovery workflows that respect national security restrictions, data sovereignty laws, and foreign blocking statutes
• Working with regulators and courts when key evidence cannot freely leave a jurisdiction
• Strategies for minimizing delays, risk, and cost when conducting multi-country investigations
