U.S. Discovery for Foreign Proceedings—28 USC § 1782 Requirements and Practice Tips

Register

Broad United States document and deposition discovery is available from companies or individuals in the United States for use in foreign proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1782. Accessing this broad discovery can be an invaluable tool to support foreign proceedings and provide access to evidence that is simply not available in many non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our panel will discuss requirements and strategies for obtaining key discovery through § 1782 proceedings, as well as provide examples of how discovery has led to favorable outcomes in foreign matters.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Requirements for accessing discovery through Section 1782
• Examples of discovery accessible for use in foreign proceedings
• Practice tips to prepare a strong application for discovery
