FRONTEO was founded in August 2003 in Japan and has grown into a global legal technology provider with operations in Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Taiwan. The company has assisted in over 8,500 international litigation matters and over 2,200 fraud investigations. FRONTEO is publicly listed and develops its own AI technology rather than relying on third-party models — its proprietary AI engine, KIBIT, powers its analytics review platform KIBIT Automator (KAM).
FRONTEO's legal services cover the full eDiscovery and investigation workflow: data identification, preservation, processing, AI-assisted document review, and data preparation for court submission. KIBIT Automator applies machine learning to prioritize documents most likely to be relevant, significantly reducing review volume. The platform also supports cross-border litigation requiring multilingual document review, driven by FRONTEO's Asia-Pacific origin and international case experience.
FRONTEO differentiates through its proprietary AI engine and its specialization in cross-border and cross-language litigation matters — particularly cases involving Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and English-language documents. Its depth of forensic investigation experience alongside eDiscovery makes it a single-source provider for matters that blend litigation support with internal investigation.
Best fit: Multinational corporations, law firms handling cross-border disputes, and legal departments conducting internal investigations that require multilingual eDiscovery and AI-driven review with forensic capabilities.
Hands-on review pending.
