2026 eDiscovery Negotiation Training: Practical Cooperative Strategies
The 2026 eDiscovery Negotiation Training: Practical Cooperative Strategies is an advanced program designed to enhance participants' skills in eDiscovery negotiation. Organized by The Sedona Conference Institute, this event aims to promote efficient and cost-effective fact-finding while minimizing disputes, aligning with Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the ethical obligations of attorneys.
Key topics include preservation, scope of discovery, form of production, privilege, and the handling of social media, messaging apps, ephemeral data, and AI-generated content. The program features a new litigation hypothetical developed with AI assistance, along with demonstrations and mock negotiation exercises.
The event comprises both online and in-person components. The online session on January 21, 2026, introduces the program's goals and materials, followed by in-person sessions on February 4-5, 2026, at Norton Rose Fulbright's New York office, focusing on mock Rule 26(f) and Rule 16(b) conferences.
This training is ideal for legal professionals seeking to refine their eDiscovery negotiation skills through interactive exercises and expert critiques, fostering cooperative strategies to resolve common conflicts in electronic information management.
