Lit i View eDiscovery TechnologyLit i View, proprietary eDiscovery software, was purpose-built to handle Asian and multi-language documents from processing through analysis, accelerating review and delivering more accurate results. Unlike most review platforms, Lit i View can accurately process mixed-language and mutli-byte electronically stored information.

Lit i View integrates advanced analytics, including AI and technology-assisted review (TAR), for English as well as CJK language documents, with an active learning approach that significantly reduces the human training requirements of traditional TAR systems.

Email Auditor™, an email audit solution, supports not only cross-border litigation but also various other activities that reduce legal risks, including internal investigations and compliance initiatives related to data leakage or regulatory infractions (e.g., Japan’s Antimonopoly Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, ITAR, and other indicia of accounting fraud, bribery and other non-compliant behavior).

On-Site Foreign Language Review Across AsiaWith 10 review centers across the U.S. and Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, and more than 1,100 seats worldwide, FRONTEO’s document review capabilities are designed to help legal teams run concurrent cross-border matters on multiple continents.

Our Asia review centers offer lower cost review as well as native fluency in Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and other Asian languages to ensure that local cultures, dialects and colloquialisms are taken into account for the richest results. In collaboration with our clients, we develop specialized workflows for prioritized review of non-privileged documents and privilege review with U.S.-based attorneys.

Our in-house experts and bi-lingual attorney resources also can support reviews in hundreds of foreign languages. Foreign language content is faithfully rendered for review with fully searchable text and metadata in the original language. We can also perform machine translation of documents for a first level review, or arrange for certified translations for submission to court or other entities.
