Catalyst CR Provides the Search, Analytics and Review Tools Needed to Investigate and Handle Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Claims.

In recent years, the U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted more violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act than at any other time in its history. FCPA violations have cost businesses billions in fines and disgorged profits. These cases could be but previews of coming events. Recent statements from both Justice and the SEC make clear that the federal government has little mercy for businesses or executives accused of bribing foreign officials. Both agencies promise heightened investigations and aggressive enforcement.

For any enterprise that does business outside the United States, the FCPA is a minefield of potential dangers. When an FCPA investigation looms, counsel face the daunting task of ferreting out conduct that was designed to remain secret. In an FCPA case, that might mean weeding through terabytes of electronically stored information. Even worse, the ESI is likely to be in multiple languages and housed under multiple custodians virtually anywhere in the world. All of this must done under tight deadlines.

Using Catalyst CR to Assist FCPA Investigations

Catalyst has helped some of the largest corporations and law firms in the world manage FCPA reviews. A key reason clients choose Catalyst CR to aid in these investigations is its powerful multi-language search and analytical capabilities.

• Multi-Language Search: FCPA reviews typically involve multiple languages. Because Catalyst CR supports over 70 languages (including Asian, Arabic, Russian and Hebrew), counsel can search and review regardless of the language used.
• Early Case Assessment: Speed is often critical for FCPA investigations. With Catalyst Early Case Assessment tools, counsel can quickly drill into large volumes of documents to determine key players and key concepts, identify who was talking with whom, and conduct domain analysis.
• Concept-Based Analytics: Grouping large volumes of documents by themes helps counsel zero in on key document sets and reduce the number of documents to review, saving time and money. With Catalyst CR, we can cluster key documents by themes or exclude spam and other irrelevant documents.
• Full-Featured Review: FCPA investigations are time sensitive with tight deadlines and large volumes of documents. With Catalyst CR, our clients can staff and manage reviews using global teams of multi-lingual professionals.
