Legal Commentary

John Tredennick, CEO of Catalyst Repositories Systems, is among the many in our community who have been deeply touched by the earthquake and tsunami that has crippled Japan.

 

The events hit close to the heart for Catalyst: It has offices in Tokyo and Hong Kong and maintains a secure data center in Japan for Asia regional hosting. Catalyst also is a founding  of the E-Discovery Asia alliance, a group of forensic, collections and e-discovery experts covering Japan, Hong Kong, China,  Korea, Singapore and Southeast Asia.

So Catalyst and its Asia and U.S. partners are organizing a relief effort they are calling "Legal Professionals for Japan,"  he says. "Frankly, this disaster makes most of the others we have faced look almost minor."

The idea is to provide a focal point for donations to the Japan Red Cross, he says. "Catalyst and its partners intend to donate ? and we want to provide a vehicle to encourage others in the legal community to do so as well. For that reason, we are offering to match individual contributions made through LPJ. Our goal is to raise at least $20,000," Tredennick advises.
