      abstract = {It is not unusual in corporate litigation for the outcome  of a case to hinge on the discovery in court of  electronically-stored information (ESI). Yet in most  jurisdictions (notably among EU Member States) the  withholding of such information is required by privacy laws  or even laws specifically blocking the transfer of data for  discovery purposes. Companies that ignore such laws may  face severe sanctions. In the United States, however,  discovery of ESI is often compulsory, and failure to comply  can lead to contempt of court and losing the case.  This  book deals with the dilemma faced by multinational  corporations when a United States court demands discovery  of ESI that is protected in other countries. In fine detail  the authors cover the full spectrum of possible responses,  from evaluating the comparative cost of legal sanctions in  a variety of major global jurisdictions to recognizing when  to avoid litigation entirely. The tone throughout is  eminently practical, specifying the precise nature and  degree of risk involved and offering optimal solutions to  all the conflicts likely to arise. On the theoretical side,  the rationales of both the US e-discovery model and data  privacy laws (focusing on the European data protection  directive) are clearly explained.},
