UBIC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Masahiro Morimoto), which is listed on the TSE Mothers, Inc., commemorates the publication of its book "Discovery" in South Korea on November 2013, 11. The event was held at the Renaissance Seoul Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.
Discovery is one of the proceedings peculiar to the United States, in which both the plaintiff and the defendant disclose each other's evidence before the hearing.Among them, the discovery of digital information such as e-mail, which has been increasing rapidly in recent years, is called "e-discovery", and we support such a discovery system as one of our services.

In the unlikely event that an appropriate eDiscovery response is not taken when the possibility of a proceeding is detected, a huge amount of sanctions will be imposed, resulting in a loss.Therefore, deepening the knowledge of international proceedings that may occur at all times and taking measures in advance are one of the important growth strategies for companies operating globally.
Based on our more than 10 years of experience in supporting international litigation, "Discovery" published this time fully explains the position and coping methods of Asian companies that are particularly disadvantageous in terms of language and institution. It is also attracting attention as Korea's first practical advice on discovery measures for Asian companies.In addition, in order to make it easier for people inside and outside the company involved in international litigation business to understand, we have posted episodes based on true stories and explained the entire process of e-discovery.Furthermore, it is expected that this book will enable Japanese companies' local subsidiaries in South Korea and Korean companies to respond appropriately to international litigation, and enhance the competitiveness of Asian companies in the global society.
