GDPR and Overcoming Challenges to Obtaining Digital Discovery from European Entities

You are an associate in a law firm in New York assigned to a breach of contract case involving a winery client headquartered in Bordeaux, France. You are assigned to collect your client’s emails and data to respond to your adversary’s request for production of documents in the case, which is pending in a New York federal court. You have 30 days to respond and produce documents. You figure you will start collecting documents via email and produce them electronically. Is it that simple? Not at all.
