Asia E-Discovery Alliance

Real Expertise from Start to Finish

The Asia E-Discovery Alliance is a formal partnership of forensics experts, powered by the Catalyst CR backbone. With I-Analysis in Singapore and Malaysia covering South-East Asia, D3 Forensics covering Greater China, and Ji2's reach throughout Japan, we offer comprehensive, expert, and localised litigation support, including in-region hosting in Catalyst CR, the leading platform for multi-language review.

How We're Different:

We have a decade of experience designing project support strategies for litigation, arbitration and regulatory matters throughout Asia. We understand the data protection laws and blocking statutes in jurisdictions across the region because we live and work here. We speak the languages - between us, English, Japanese, Cantonese, and Putonghua. We offer unparalleled expertise in early case assessment and defensible strategies-across borders and across languages.

What We Do:

• Discovery Advisory: We work across languages and cultures to identify and document data sources. We understand data protection laws and blocking statutes and have designed custom processes to meet them. Our discovery reports have been accepted in both the U.S. and the E.U. Our deep technical knowledge provides a seamless and defensible project flow.
  
  
• Multi-Jurisdiction Forensics and Collection: We have been collecting data across the region for a decade. Our professionals have planned and managed data collections in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and numerous other locations.
  
  
• Multi-Language Processing: Catalyst's Fast Track multi-language processing allows you to submit native files for processing and loading directly into Catalyst CR. It is designed to handle any mix of Unicode and non-Unicode documents, including the multiple code pages in Japanese, Korean, Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan) and Chinese (Macau), as well as other encodings.
  
  
• Specialized Search: The Catalyst CR system allows you to search in over 70 languages and to specify the search language when it matters: for Chinese, Japanese or Korean searches. We also allow you to translate documents on-the-fly across 30 languages.
  
  
• Localized Project Management: The Asia E-Discovery Alliance partners are all forensics experts with years of experience designing search strategies on multi-language data sets. We design linear and non-linear review flows to account for multibyte encoding, and keyword testing strategies to make sure when you want to search for 引っ越し you also find 引越.

Experience You Can Trust

Let's face it. Just about every e-discovery vendor out there claims they can handle Asian data and can "cover" Asia collections through unspecified referral networks. Very few can, and fewer still do it properly. With the Asia E-Discovery Alliance you get a seasoned team of Asian and multi-language professionals backed by the most powerful multi-language processing and review platform on the market, complete with in-region hosting.

We're there when you need us - because we're already here.
