Novus Law is First Firm in Global Legal Industry to Achieve ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System Certification from Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Novus Law, LLC, a leading global legal services firm, announced that it is the
first firm to achieve an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
9001:2008 quality management system certification based on an independent audit
performed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), the most rigorous and
prestigious certification auditor.

Auditors from UL examined the firm`s quality management and control systems,
called Novus Q, and verified that the firm had upheld the quality standards
flawlessly. The certification review did not find any non-compliance issues and
did not suggest any changes to Novus Q, thus achieving a rare perfect audit
score under the rigorous new standard.

"We are proud to be the first legal firm to achieve this new global quality
management system certification from Underwriters Laboratories since we believe
that they are the leading and most rigorous independent auditing and
certification agency in the world. This achievement confirms our commitment to
quality and innovation, and our ability to deliver a measurably higher quality
and more defensible work product to our corporate counsel and law firm clients,"
said Novus Law co-founder and CEO Raymond Bayley.

ISO 9001:2008 is the latest edition of the International Standard used by
organizations as the global benchmark for providing assurance of an
organization`s ability to satisfy quality requirements and to enhance client
satisfaction. Novus Law received this certification, and the previous ISO
9001:2000 certification, specifically for document management and review
services in association with litigation, corporate transactions and
investigations; enterprise content management; and corporate governance services
for corporate legal departments and the law firms that serve them.

Novus Q is an integral component of the Novus Process, the firm`s comprehensive
document management, review and analysis process for litigation, investigations,
bankruptcies and mergers and acquisitions. In 2008, the Novus Process received a
global InnovAction Award from the College of Law Practice Management and Novus
Law was inducted into the College`s hall of fame, which is the first time either
distinction has been awarded to an organization other than a law firm. Using the
Novus Process, clients have reduced costs for document management, review and
analysis up to 60-80%.

"The legal industry is beginning to fully embrace the reality that quality
management and control systems can have an enormous impact on their bottom line.
As one of the only ISO 9001:2008 certified legal services firm in the world,
Novus Law is uniquely positioned to address that reality," said Bayley.

Raymond Bayley is available to speak with the media about Novus Law`s ISO
9001:2008 certification and how the firm provides cutting-edge quality
management and control systems at reduced costs for corporate counsel and law
firms.
