Global Footprint

With a multilingual attorney team, our Advanced E-Discovery and A.I. Strategy Group has extensive experience leading E-Discovery aspects of major international investigations, data breaches and civil litigation across all industries and jurisdictions. The group has served as national E-Discovery counsel for multinational clients located across Asia, North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa, gaining wide-ranging experience with privacy, blocking, state secrets, banking and other laws that affect E-Discovery strategy. The group is also a key participant in global industry think tanks focused on the adoption of new technologies.

Our attorneys manage E-Discovery projects of any size, including those involving terabytes of data, hundreds of custodians and data sets located all over the world—experience that requires sensitivity to data privacy laws restricting the transfer of data beyond borders. Collaborating closely with clients, the group often strategizes on litigation readiness programs, protocols for collecting and reviewing data in different countries, and the most efficient document preservation, collection and review plan for a given matter. A key component of the group’s work in complex international engagements is management of all stakeholders involved, including legal, information technology, privacy and business groups across global locations.
