Catalyst is a sponsor of the event to highlight the début of its initiative serving Asia and the Pacific Rim. Richard Kershaw will also be moderating a panel discussion on day two called “Judicial Panel: Cross-Border Litigation with Internal Disclosure and Privacy.”

“We have been working with corporations and law firms from around the world for many years and have several partners across the globe,” said Mr. Tredennick. “Our participation in this conference underscores our commitment to global e-discovery.”

“The conference will be a major event for the Asian market and links perfectly with our launch there,” said Richard Kershaw, managing director of Catalyst Asia, Ltd., the new division of Catalyst Repository Systems. “For Catalyst, having a presence in Asia will enable us to better serve companies that face the legal and logistical challenges of handling data on a global scale."

The conference, taking place at the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel July 7-8, 2010, is a gathering of legal and IT professionals from around the world. As jurisdictions from Asia to Australia develop new e-discovery rules, the U.S. is no longer the sole driver of global e-discovery. This conference will closely examine these emerging global changes. The agenda will also focus on case management and cost control, while taking an in-depth look at e-discovery and ESI collecting, processing and reviewing.
