A successful document review depends on thorough planning that begins long before the first document meets the eyes of an attorney. Global Colleague was founded and is run by veterans of the litigation support industry who have managed document collections and reviews for some of the world's most complex legal matters. We have managed complex projects in the fields of anti-trust, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, employment, intellectual property, and insurance litigation.

Our project managers have years of experience managing discovery projects for multinational corporations and the law firms that represent them. Our document reviewers are Indian lawyers drawn from the best law schools in India. They are fluent in English, received their legal training in English, and have been subjected to the most rigorous training in the legal outsourcing space. Many of our colleagues have specialized knowledge and expertise to meet specific review and research needs, such as taxation, accountancy, commerce, economics, medical jurisprudence and forensic sciences, corporate and labor laws, journalism, human resources, office automation, cyber law, and information technology.

Multiple-language Review(back to top)
Our experience in managing a variety of entities, across multiple languages, is unique in the LPO space. We have experience managing projects involving multiple teams, languages, and countries and can quickly assemble teams for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese document review projects.

Quality Assurance(back to top)
We maintain a team of Quality Assurance analysts who are experienced document review attorneys extensively trained in our stringent quality control procedures.  These teams are wholly independent from the document review teams.   Moreover, every single reviewer receives regular quality assurance training and each team member is empowered to report any concerns.  We ensure that our clients' supervising attorneys can easily monitor and comment on our work.  The project manager assigned to your document review project will have excellent communication skills and will regularly communicate with the supervising attorneys.  At the start of each project, your project manager will work with one of our quality assurance analysts and the client managing attorney to formalize the document review instructions and implement a process by which we calibrate our review team with outside counsel.

Legal Project Management (back to top)
Do not underestimate the importance of experienced legal project managers to the success of your outsourced project. The skills and experience required to manage outsourced legal work are different from those needed for non-law-related work. Experience in managing business or IT projects and processes does not always translate to success in managing outsourced legal work.

Time constraints imposed by a court-mandated discovery deadline create unique challenges. If your project manager has not been subjected to the crushing pressure of high-stakes litigation, they should not be entrusted with your legal work. Our project managers are savvy, tested legal professionals who have received intense training from U.S. barred attorneys. Every project manager with Global Colleague has managed numerous large, legal projects for U.S. law firms and corporations.

We customize our reporting and communication processes to meet the unique requirements of your project and use the latest in project management and collaboration technologies to ensure that you have secure access to up-to-the minute data on your matters. We'll keep you informed about your project's status by whatever means you prefer, whether that be e-mailed reports, on-line team sites, WAP pages for your smart phone, instant messages, faxed updates, daily conference calls, or any combination of the above.

We cultivate a work ethic and esprit de corps that makes your problems our challenges to solve. This deep legal project management team is the key to managing projects across multiple languages in different countries.
