Masahiro Morimoto, President and CEO of UBIC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters, Minato-ku, Tokyo), which is listed on the TSE Mothers and is listed on the US Nasdaq, summarized the discovery measures of Japanese companies on November 2013, 11. We have published "Correct procedure of e-discovery to fight the world on an equal footing" (Global Tri).
When a company enters the United States, the “litigation risk” almost always occurs.By controlling the risk, minimizing the loss of the company when a lawsuit actually occurs is greatly related to the growth of the company, and one of the roles required of legal staff of global companies. is.Under these circumstances, this book provides practical knowledge about "discovery (disclosure of evidence)", which is necessary for proceedings in US proceedings and investigations / investigations from US authorities / investigative agencies, with episodes based on abundant experience. Introduced by Masahiro Morimoto.
In a US civil lawsuit, there is a procedure called "discovery" in which both the plaintiff and the defendant disclose information related to the proceeding before the hearing.Since most of the information is electronic data these days, it is also called "e-discovery", which is an acronym for "Electronic", but at present, the responsiveness of Japanese companies is not always appropriate or sufficient.This is because, while the necessity and importance of discovery is increasing in various legal scenes, the correct procedure and countermeasures are not well known.
In addition, there is a risk of "information leakage" when processing and viewing evidence data.Even if it is not possible to prevent such damage 100%, it is possible to hedge the risk appropriately by looking ahead and proceeding with the plan while making countermeasures.We believe that such “evidence control” is now indispensable for organizational defense and stable corporate growth.
In this book, Morimoto, CEO of our company, explains in detail the practical knowledge of discovery required by many Japanese and Asian companies based on his abundant experience of "Comprehensive Discovery Support".In addition, it contains a lot of the latest trends and information in the industry, and some of them are "top secrets" that have not been released until now.
An interesting episode is told in this book.When a US subsidiary of a trading company was sued, the Japanese headquarters initially left the proceedings to local personnel and lawyers.When the vendors they chose started the discovery process, the headquarters didn't know the cost.When I asked for a quote based on Morimoto's advice, the amount offered by the vendor was 17 billion yen.However, when Morimoto checked the work contents, the project was usually enough for 5 million yen, no matter how high.
What we can see from this case is that overseas vendors do not have the technology and know-how to efficiently handle Japanese discovery, or they may be "looking at their feet" by taking advantage of the lack of information and experience at the Japanese headquarters. There is also.
In this book, while introducing such episodes, we will introduce in detail the secrets and security points to reduce costs for each discovery process.In addition, "risks of having a data center that stores evidence overseas" and "how to identify a reliable discovery support company" are also explained gently.It's a book worth reading for business owners and legal professionals.
