The challenges practitioners face during eDiscovery or a government investigation are complex. Add to this the language barrier and the nuances found in written Japanese, a language based on thousands of Chinese characters. It is not unrealistic that a Japanese company may need to review hundreds of gigs of long chain emails, hundred-page excel spreadsheets, laboratory manuals, financial reports, ect.
What separates our company is simple: Japanese Doc Review was founded by Professionals who not only are fluent in Japanese, but have spent thousands of hours actually conducting the Japanese review. Our team has experience in:
Pharmaceutical Government investigation
LIBOR Anti-Trust
Class action Products Liability
Intellectual Property Autoparts
LCD Mass Torts
Securities Automotive
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act Merger Review
Our mission is to instill confidence. We understand document review is a single component of a multi-stage process during the pre-trial phase of eDiscovery. This is why our niche focus empowers law firms and their litigation support staff with the confidence and resources to know that the staffing agency utilized has the linguistic and domain experience to adequately assemble a Japanese team.
