You Work Across Borders, Cultures and Languages. Your E-Discovery Partner Should Do the Same.

Catalyst Asia is dedicated to companies and counsel facing e-discovery and regulatory investigations involving large volumes of multi-language documents. With employees and data centers in the U.S. and Asia, Catalyst offers in-region and international access to our secure litigation hosting and review platform. We also offer a wide range of complementary e-discovery services, both directly and through our Asia partner network.

Leadership

Our Asia team has 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. Our consulting group includes seasoned attorneys and mathematicians focused on search and analytics consulting. We offer unparalleled expertise in early case assessment and defensible strategies—across borders and across languages.

Services

Long recognized as a leader in multi-language review, we have worked with multi-byte languages for half a decade—Unicode and non-Unicode. We specialize in processing, searching and reviewing Chinese, Japanese and Korean data.

• 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. Catalyst Asia's deep technical knowledge provides a seamless and defensible project flow.
• Multi-Jurisdiction Forensics and Collection: The professionals on the Catalyst Asia team and our select partners 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 system allows you to search in over 70 languages and to specify the search language when it matters: for Chinese, Japanese or Korean searches. Without these capabilities, the search engine may not properly tokenize your search and fail to return responsive documents.
• Translation on the Fly: Catalyst lets you translate documents on the fly so non-native reviewers can get a quick idea of document contents. We support over 30 languages on the site and offer bulk translations in advance for many other languages.
• Primary and Secondary Language Identification: This allows review administrators to organize documents for review by language and to direct documents to the appropriate reviewers.

Together with our partners, we speak English, Cantonese, Putonghua, and Japanese. Our people are qualified experts with 10-15 years of experience in Asia. Our partners are experts in their own jurisdictions, covering Southeast Asia, Greater China and Japan.

The Catalyst Advantage: A Better Way to Manage Asian Data

Let's face it. Just about every e-discovery vendor out there claims they can handle Asian data. Very few can, or at least can do it properly. Our repository is built using the latest search and tokenization technology and is made to handle the challenging CJK languages. Our people have years of experience dealing with the problems that arise in managing multi-language cases. Our partners are in your jurisdictions and they know the rules of the road. With Catalyst, you get the most powerful multi-language processing and review platform on the market backed by a seasoned team of Asian and multi-language professionals. And we're there when you need us. That's the Catalyst Advantage.
