Strategic Alliance Between CPA Global and Applied Discovery Passes '50 Million
Page' Milestone
Clients Benefiting From Major Cost Savings in Document Review

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- CPA Global, one of the
world's leading providers of outsourced legal support services, and
electronic discovery industry leader Applied Discovery Inc. (a division of
LexisNexis), announced today that they have passed a major milestone since
forming a strategic alliance in 2008, having jointly processed and reviewed
over 50 million pages of evidence.
The alliance, established last year after CPA Global met Applied
Discovery's stringent security and certification standards, combines the
strengths of two industry leaders to deliver clients comprehensive,
cost-effective document review services that significantly enhance the
efficiency of servicing complex litigation cases.
Kevin Reilley, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Legal
Solutions, CPA Global, said: "Joining forces with Applied Discovery has
enhanced our ability to help clients control the escalating costs of
discovery. One recent document review project we undertook together in the US
for international mining group Rio Tinto saved them over $1 million - and
many other corporations are reaping similar savings. We are delighted with
the value we have been able to deliver for our clients and look forward to
the next 50 million pages."
Jon Resnick, Vice President of Sales & Field Operations at Applied
Discovery, added: "By partnering with another leading provider, Applied
Discovery is able to continue to provide clients with more comprehensive
services at more competitive prices. CPA Global and Applied Discovery are
coordinated in every aspect of delivery, creating unparalleled efficiency
that drives additional cost savings. This alliance underscores our commitment
to our clients who ask us to remain forward thinking and create viable
alternatives for them to the everyday litigation challenges they face."
