I expect RWNJ snark, but intellectually honest readers will stipulate that the writer is, indeed, an expert.
.....Who I am matters as you read this particular story because I’m not just an attorney, I’m a very specialized attorney. My specialization happens to be very relevant to Trump’s case in D.C.

It’s cost-prohibitive to translate every document, but when tens or hundreds of millions of dollars (or more) are at stake, companies rarely want to rely upon machine translations. Thus they need foreign language-speaking attorney teams to assist in analyzing data.
And so we are a niche specialist in a field of niche specialists, working predominantly on major anti-trust cases or federal international bribery cases—complex financial crimes.
As the head of the foreign language services e-discovery division, my days are spent in the voluminous analysis of multilingual electronic evidence. At e-discovery conferences, I teach other attorneys and corporate legal departments about e-discovery processes, and I frequently talk about the roles of artificial intelligence and technology-assisted review when analyzing large volumes of data.
All of this is to say that I don’t believe I’m exaggerating when I state that I am probably one of just a handful of specialized attorneys in the United States best qualified to talk about labor requirements in analyzing large volumes of evidence in litigation.
