I am attending the DRI Europe Seminar in Munich, Germany. I have been very impressed with the content of the program and the quality of speakers. I am learning that we have very different rules of discovery and procedure in the US when compared to the rules in Great Britain and on the Continent.
For those doing international work, whether general corporate or litigation, fully understanding these rules are critical to one's successful navigation of the minefield created in this area. Having heard many fine speakers today, it seems difficult to fathom legal work in this area without a full understanding of the conflicts that exist. There does not appear to be a "quick fix" as one speaker noted to the conflicts. I am looking forward to the remaining speakers later today.
