26(f) “Meet and Confer” and 30(b)6 Deposition Preparation

The Federal Rules require that not only do parties to litigation proactively identify all sources of potential documentary evidence at the very onset of litigation; they also require that parties Meet and Confer to discuss the full scope of discovery. Parties need to be prepared to discuss their document retention policies, legal hold application, corporate technology and all its implications to the discovery process. Merrill Legal Solutions can help you address these challenges with smart, experienced consultants to assist in the preparation for, and attendance at, both Meet and Confer sessions and 30(b)(6) depositions.

• Attendance at the 30(b)(6) deposition as a technological consultant.
