Rochester, NY, August 3, 2018 - D4, a leading international provider of managed data and discovery services and a division of full-service legal staffing firm Special Counsel, announced today that a top 10 AMLAW firm has chosen D4 Shanghai to host Relativity for their use in China. D4's servers are in a high security, top tier, Chinese government approved data center in Shanghai. The arrangement allows the international firm to provide investigations and document review on local data in China so that their clients' data management will conform with China's new cybersecurity protocol."D4 has strong roots in China, and we know how to ensure our customers' data management workflows are compliant with Chinese rules, regulations and guidelines."A critical component of China's Cybersecurity Law is that data cannot be transferred or even viewed before it is screened by Chinese lawyers for sensitive information, as defined by the Chinese government. D4's niche expertise, which is backed by its local data center approved by the China government, is a more secure resource for law firms who are attempting to transfer data or host it in a cloud-based solution."D4 has strong roots in China, and we know how to ensure our customers' data management workflows are compliant with Chinese rules, regulations and guidelines," said Tom Groom, vice president and Shanghai managing director at D4.D4 has been certified with the Relativity "Best in Service" ranking for nine consecutive years and is a leader in implementing analytics, including artificial intelligence on Asian data sets.
