Case Study: a large 100 law firm streamlines deposition support with Epiq’s bilingual Enhanced Associate Solutions

Law Firm Streamlines Deposition Process With Bilingual Team for International Trade Commission Matter

A large 100 law firm needed to streamline its deposition process for an International Trade Commission matter. Their challenge was to informally translate a large volume of highly technical documents from Chinese to English, identify topics critical to their case, and provide support for depositions whose schedules were complicated by international time zones. They engaged Epiq to utilize its Enhanced Associate Solutions service.

Epiq implemented a programmatic solution using a bilingual team with deep technical expertise. The team reviewed and translated documents in collaboration with counsel and provided critical Chinese-language communication support during evenings and weekends to accommodate the schedule of respondents in China. Epiq also delivered in-person deposition support for instant translations and testimony confirmation. The results included the review of 8,400 documents, the translation of 1,050 key items, and successful support for depositions in two cities, all completed within the demanding nine-month timeline.
