Jack Woodcock Panelist at 2026 Sedona Conference Midyear Meeting: Enhancing the Effectiveness of Rule 26(f)

Pierce Atwood litigation partner Jack Woodcock will join a panel discussion examining how Rule 26(f) conferences can be used more effectively to shape proportional, efficient discovery. Panelists will introduce the forthcoming Commentary, discuss key themes and emerging best practices from its development, and explore how early, informed, and cooperative engagement improves discovery outcomes. The program also covers practical guidance for counsel and courts—including preparation strategies, checklists, local rules, individual practices, and the enforcement role of Rule 37—showing how the Commentary aims to make Rule 26(f) conferences more meaningful and outcome-focused.
