Case Study: a Japanese corporation fulfills UK Bribery Act investigation requirements with Epiq

Japanese Corporation Fulfills Global UK Bribery Act Investigation Requirements While Complying With Applicable Privacy Laws

The client, a leading Japanese corporation, faced a complex challenge when its European subsidiary required a UK Bribery Act investigation. With custodians spread across Europe and Asia, navigating the various data privacy laws was a major complication, as counsel was wary of moving data internationally. Epiq was engaged to forensically collect, process, host, and review the data while ensuring full compliance.

To solve this, Epiq established secure databases in both the UK and Japan to facilitate data movement and employed its multilingual staff and specialized review facilities in both locations. Their bilingual project managers provided daily summaries of key Japanese documents, which were translated for the legal team. This solution from Epiq resulted in a secure data review process that quickly fulfilled all project requirements and complied with every applicable privacy law.
