According to a recent Foreign Corrupt Practices Act alert, the cooperation among the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and international law enforcement authorities has increased in recent years, and continued strengthening of anticorruption legislation and enforcement overseas is expected. This persistent globalization, coupled with the growing mountain of electronically stored information (ESI), will inevitably lead to an increase in discovery requests for ESI located abroad.
In complex cross-border matters such as this, the stakes are high and getting higher. Now more than ever before, early case assessment, solid strategies and clear and insightful analytical strength are pivotal to prevailing in business disputes. Taking a strategic approach that incorporates translation technology and best practices into the foreign language e-discovery process increases productivity and reduces overall costs.
