For many legal practitioners, Asia remains a legal challenge, “whether it’s the different data sources, the lack of familiarity with case law or an understanding of the legal landscape in different countries, from Hong Kong to China to South Korea and elsewhere,” said Zach Warren, editor-in-chief of ALM’s Legaltech News, as he opened the ALM webcast “Legal Trends and Challenges in Asia,” sponsored by Epiq. The $10 billion+ global e-discovery market is growing by roughly 10 percent every year, and by 2019, 7 percent of the global market will be in Asia, said Warren, citing a 2016 report from the International Data Corporation (IDC).
