We are proud to announce that LGN partner Kyle Pozan will be a featured panelist at the 2025 Midyear Meeting of The Sedona Conference Working Group 1 (WG1) on Electronic Document Retention and Production this week.
Kyle will serve as a panelist during “ESI Case Law Session 2: Recent Key Case Law Decisions and Their Impact on Discovery Practice.” This session will explore significant eDiscovery rulings from the past six months, addressing topics such as artificial intelligence, privilege logs, and family productions, and their implications for discovery practices in 2025 and beyond.
Kyle focuses his practice on antitrust class actions and other civil litigation matters, and as a member of WG1, Kyle contributes to advancing best practices in eDiscovery. He currently serves on the Brainstorming Group on Possession, Custody, or Control and has previously participated in drafting teams focused on the eDiscovery implications of the Internet of Things.
The Sedona Conference is a leading forum for dialogue on complex litigation, antitrust, and data governance. The Midyear Meeting provides WG1 members with an opportunity to engage in discussions on ongoing drafting team efforts and emerging issues in electronic discovery.

We were proud to sponsor and attend the 2024 Mayors Challenge fundraiser in honor of The Minnesota Urban Debate League (MNUDL) last week. Since 2012, the Mayors Challenge event has brought together education advocates from across the Twin Cities to celebrate and empower debate students. The event raised an impressive $162,087 in celebration of the MNUDL’s 20th anniversary.
The program featured an informative showcase debate discussing issues related to AI, the 2024-25 policy debate topic. Experts in AI and intellectual property rights served on the VIP panel. Other notable speakers included Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
The keynote speaker was First Lady of Minnesota, MNUDL Board Member, and former speech & debate coach Gwen Walz. She shared:
“What educators and coaches work at, and dream of, is the possibility of transformation – for students to find their voices, to articulate their ideas, and to challenge, most of all, themselves. What we know about debate is that it does just that for students, and for all of us . . .
If ever there was a time to research and discuss and engage one another, it is now. If ever there was a time to support ideas with real information and real facts and real evidence, it is now.
Our hope is that our democracy looks much more like a debate team.”
LGN has been a longtime supporter of the Minnesota Urban Debate League. LGN partner Gregg Fishbein is a founding member of the Advisory Board, and LGN partner Kate Baxter-Kauf currently serves as incoming Vice Chair of the Advisory Board and volunteers at St. Paul Central. LGN attorneys Karen Hanson Riebel and Arielle Wagner, as well as state government relations specialist Jess Lindeen, also attended the event.
A team of LGN attorneys, government relations professionals, and close family members paddled a 24-foot canoe and raced down the Mississippi River on Saturday. The more than 5-mile canoe race was part of Wilderness Inquiry’s annual Great River Race. The event raised over $190,000 to fund outdoor opportunities for youth and families across Minnesota and beyond.
Every fall, Wilderness Inquiry brings together hundreds of youth, paddlers, sponsors, volunteers, and community members to raise support and awareness for Canoemobile, a program to close the opportunity gap and create equitable pathways into the outdoors for youth of all backgrounds and abilities. The Canoemobile program works with more than 25,000 youth annually through a “floating classroom” to help improve school performance, cultivate a stewardship ethic, and create pathways to higher education and career opportunities in the outdoors.
