Arlington, Virginia · Washington DC, Maryland & Nationwide
Pro-Legal Services, Inc. provides confidential business information redaction, CBI redaction services, document redaction, and public version preparation for law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. We handle redaction at production volume for ITC Section 337 investigations, antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings, regulatory filings, FOIA responses, and court productions, with same-day and overnight turnaround available. We build the redaction log as the work proceeds rather than assembling it afterwards.
Redaction Services We Provide
Burned-in redaction with text-layer verification, so the underlying content is removed rather than covered. Metadata scrubbing and hidden-content removal. Per-page confidentiality endorsement and CBI header application across full productions. Paired public and confidential version preparation, delivered as separate files. Bracketing and designation marking to your protective order’s conventions. Bates labeling, OCR, and native file conversion. Redaction log preparation. Full quality control with source-to-image verification before anything returns to you. We check the OCR layer and the file metadata, not only the visible page, because redacted content routinely survives in a text layer or a document property long after it has disappeared from view.
Why Firms Outsource Redaction
A redaction applied as a black box on top of a text-based PDF is not a redaction. The content is still in the file and is recoverable by anyone who selects it, and the Commission’s own filing guidance warns about exactly this. The exposure is asymmetric: the work is low-value, high-volume, and tedious, while a single failure is a disclosure of your client’s confidential business information. Firms send it to us because the task punishes fatigue and rewards process, and because paralegal time spent on redaction is the most expensive way to buy it.
Built for Volume and Deadlines
We run redaction as a production workflow rather than a desk task: written specifications agreed before work starts, trained operators, continuous quality control sampling, and verification that the text layer is clean on every redacted page. Pro-Legal operates 24/7/365 with a single dedicated point of contact and documented chain of custody on every item. Transparent rate cards, no per-gigabyte markup, and pricing that reflects the work rather than a sales organization’s overhead.
