One of FRONTEO's main businesses is civil litigation support in the United States, fraud investigation, and forensic investigation in the event of a security incident.In a civil lawsuit in the United States, an evidence disclosure process called "discovery" is performed after the proceeding is filed.In this method, both the plaintiff and the defendant, regardless of whether they are advantageous, disadvantageous, or neutral, submit evidence related to the allegations of either party to each other (discovery procedure) and conduct a fair trial.As the globalization of business progresses, the number of cases in which Japanese and Asian companies are involved in international litigation is increasing year by year, but due to differences in the litigation process and language, it is difficult to disclose sufficient evidence, and it is in a difficult situation.
