When Document Review Requires Multilingual Skills, Prioritize Your People

Organizations today are navigating an array of legal and regulatory issues relating to increased globalization. Despite projections that the coronavirus pandemic would stifle globalization in favor of regionalization, international trade, business, investing and cooperation are thriving. At the same time, the volume of corporate litigation and investigations continue to rise—a survey from Norton Rose Fulbright found that 40% of respondents expect an increase in disputes in the coming year. Research has also shown that increasing international business operations are correlated to increases in cross-border discovery. Document review and e-discovery are now sitting at an interesting cross-section of these trends, where organizations are experiencing legal and regulatory matters requiring multilingual review.
