ITC Section 337 Litigation Support for Law Firms

Arlington, Virginia · Minutes from the U.S. International Trade Commission · Nationwide

Pro-Legal Services, Inc. provides litigation support for ITC filing — eDiscovery, redaction, certified translation, and exhibit production for law firms handling Section 337 investigations. We have supported ITC matters before, and we built our workflow around the three things that make this forum unforgiving: a schedule with no recovery time, a record that is confidential business information almost end to end, and respondents whose documents frequently arrive in another language.

What We Handle on a 337 Matter

Forensic data collection from laptops, mobile devices, Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Workspace, and Slack. ESI processing and early case assessment to cut the population before review rates apply. Managed document review using continuous active learning and AI-assisted review on Relativity, RelativityOne, or our in-house Questa platform, with privilege review run as a distinct pass. Defensible production with Bates labeling, full quality control, and the paired public and confidential versions every filing requires. CBI redaction is its own discipline and we treat it that way.

Foreign Respondents, Foreign Documents

Section 337 is an import statute and the record reflects it. We provide certified legal document translation in more than 100 languages with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, foreign language document review, and machine translation post-editing for triage on high-volume collections. Where documents must be recognized abroad or served on a foreign party, we handle apostille services, document authentication, embassy and consular legalization, and international service of process in house — which keeps translation and authentication in the right order rather than discovering the sequence was wrong after a rejection.

Exhibits for the Hearing

We produce tabbed and bookmarked hardcopy and digital exhibit sets, witness and deposition binders, blowbacks, large-format demonstrative boards, and 3D printed physical models made from CAD and print files your expert supplies. Our facility sits in Arlington, Virginia, minutes across the river from the Commission, which is the difference between rebuilding an exhibit set overnight and explaining why it cannot be done.

How Firms Engage Us

Three entry points, and any of them works:

  • At the complaint stage, for public and confidential versions, exhibits, and the respondent and embassy copies.
  • At institution, to stand up collection, processing, and review before fact discovery compresses.
  • In the final weeks, to take over redaction, public-version production, and exhibits when the schedule has outrun the team.

One named contact, transparent rate cards with no per-gigabyte markup, documented chain of custody on everything that passes through us, and 24/7 availability. Clients moving to Pro-Legal typically reduce eDiscovery costs by 20 to 30 percent against their prior vendor invoices, because we do not carry the sales organization and account-management overhead larger vendors fund through their rates.

Pro-Legal also provides eDiscovery, legal document scanning and litigation copying, certified legal translation, and apostille and embassy legalization as standalone services.
