IP litigation, ITC cases and DOJ investigations of foreign multinational corporations involve ever-increasing volumes of multi-language documents from all corners of the globe. How do you best handle these documents, economically and defensively?

Among the issues they will cover:

What counsel and their clients must know about the legal issues in document preparation and collection.
How and where to store the documents to avoid violating international privacy laws.
Mitigating risks associated with U.S. subpoena authority and reach.
Preparing litigation support teams for the challenges of dealing with multi-language documents.
How best to coordinate the IT effort among the client, the law firm and the vendor.
Understanding key differences in overseas data formats.

The panel will also discuss translation and review of multi-language documents. When can you use computer translation and when should you use human translation? How do you search foreign data effectively, especially Asian-character data that many search indexes cannot properly read? What are the best options to manage a multi-language review and who can help you do that?

The panel of experts has years of experience handling multi-national investigations in federal courts, before the ITC and in international arbitrations. They will provide tips, tricks and best practices for handling multi-language documents efficiently and in a cost-effective manner.
