MasterFile, a Leader in Case Analysis and e-Discovery for Solo and Smaller
Legal Firms, Partners with Bridge City Legal for Near-Duplicate Processing
Using Equivio Technology

VANCOUVER, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- MasterFile Software today announced Equivio
integration providing near-duplicate document grouping and email threading for
self-managed document review on MasterFile's litigation and case analysis
platform. By partnering with Bridge City Legal (BCL), a premier litigation
services company, MasterFile makes Equivio technology, proven to significantly
reduce the cost, time and effort in e-discovery review, affordable for smaller
matters and smaller legal practices.

Near-duplicates can represent half the documents in e-mail threads -- a huge
review cost. Equivio weeds out extraneous material, ensures consistent
treatment of similar documents and helps prevent mistakes. MasterFile's unique
near-duplicate views expedite review helping legal counsel zoom into the
critical data they need to win cases.

"Document review is the most costly part of e-discovery," said Zainul Ebrahim,
Vice President of Business Development at MasterFile. "Culling irrelevant data
and masking near-duplicates from cluttering the review process lets the
litigator get to the facts for case analysis within MasterFile, fast. We're
extremely pleased to work with BCL to offer Equivio processing to our users."

"The ability for boutique firms to perform self-managed review on smaller
matters quickly is very important," said Haze Moss, Vice President at BCL. "As
a leading provider of litigation services, we are delighted to provide Equivio
processing for MasterFile. By processing documents and threads through our
Equivio systems, smaller practices can now perform native review extremely
cost effectively -- placing them on par with the larger firm."

Keeping all case information -- evidence, research, work-product, case
analysis and argument -- in one place, MasterFile makes the next steps in
litigation simpler. Once review is complete, litigators set out case analysis
and their argument in MasterFile itself while drawing on supporting documents
and key extracts from the case database. Full mobile functionality with all
case material whether online or not and simple one click bi-directional
synchronization keeps everyone up to date.
