Press Release:

UnitedLex Sees Strong Demand for End-to-End Litigation Support Among Global 100 Firms in 2009

ATLANTA, GA (December 17, 2008) - UnitedLex, the global leader in legal consulting, technology and outsourcing, today recognized Global 100 pioneers that are championing a new era in end-to-end litigation support services. These companies are reducing costs and realizing productivity gains through a centrally managed, multi-shore approach that allows internal corporate law departments to focus on core business competencies that drive value and growth.

"During any type of high profile, large corporate or government litigation matter, a critical success factor is having a partner with a scalable model that can manage all facets of the litigation lifecycle, especially one that provides true domain expertise in electronic discovery, computer forensics, and e-Discovery readiness and preparation," said David Deppe, president of Litigation Support, UnitedLex Corporation. "After 10 years in the Litigation Support space, I've supported a myriad of brands including GE, Home Depot, Merrill Lynch, Nortel, Shelter Insurance, Tesoro Petroleum, UBS, Union Pacific and Western Union."

UnitedLex offers a litigation support strategy built around an end-to-end model that gives organizations deep bench strength and covers strategy consulting, forensics, testifying, culling/filtering/hosting of data, offshore document review and production of documents. The company offers global teams in the U.S. and India comprised of more than 300 Six Sigma DPMO-certified lawyers that review all the litigation documents.

"By placing all litigation support services under one umbrella and offering instant access to these resources 24-7, UnitedLex eliminates the need for multiple vendors, project managers, invoices and knowledge base acquisitions." Pricing per services versus hiring vendors 'a la carte' gives organizations more bang for their buck," commented Deppe.

Deppe points to the fact that sustained success in litigation services support is contingent upon tying both "shores" together as a seamless project management process that guarantees the highest quality work.  "We are focused on providing clients the optimal solution - which requires significant support from onshore and offshore consulting and delivery centers.   While document review is handled both onshore and offshore, data collection and critical e-Discovery services are executed strictly on-shore," he added.

Litigation support services are essential elements for any organization involved in federal court discovery.  In these cases, the rules clearly state that data cannot be altered, sources must be disclosed and the custodians of that data need to be identified.  This preservation protocol is critical for organizations to overcome any litigation matter.

Deppe notes that data collection compliance is not solely restricted to the U.S.  "In addition to serving the entire United States, we have performed international data collections in Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, among others.  By offering this global capability, we must be in tune with international data privacy laws as well as being safe harbor-compliant and highly proficient with the EU framework since many countries in Europe have different criteria on data leaving their respective countries," he notes.

UnitedLex has also worked directly with government agencies by providing material assistance to defend corporations from seizures of data, civil investigative demands, criminal and civil antitrust and second requests.

As further validation of UnitedLex's litigation support thought leadership, Deppe is CLE-certified and has taught e-Discovery and computer forensics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law.
