New Center Marks West Coast Expansion and
Creates Gateway to Asia/Pacific for Huron Legal
Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of
business consulting services, today announced the opening of Huron
Legal’s newest discovery center in San Francisco to support law
department and law firm clients on the West Coast and Asia. The new
center offers a full range of services, including: discovery
consulting, law department consulting, managed review, data
analytics, project management, data collection and forensic
services, as well as comprehensive discovery services from
preservation and collection through production.
“Escalating costs and expanding complexity of discovery,
compliance and legal review make the comprehensive and proactive
management of document-intensive projects essential,” said Bob
Rowe, executive vice president, Huron Legal. “With the rapid growth
in the Bay Area, particularly within the technology, finance,
biotech and healthcare sectors, our new center is strategically
located to provide clients with direct access to our consultants
and managed discovery professionals, as well as to our full range
of discovery services.”
Huron Legal discovery centers strategically and cost-effectively
manage matter complexity, regulatory requirements, and internal
protocols, while defensibly complying with applicable discovery
rules. Their protocols are tailored to support clients’ specific
needs, including document retention, security, and privacy. The
opening of the center in San Francisco brings the total number of
discovery centers in the Huron Legal network to 10, with locations
in the U.S., India, and the UK, supported by a team of discovery
experts and more than 1,600 review professionals.
“One of the biggest challenges for growing companies is how to
structure, operate and equip their law departments to control
expenses, manage risks and efficiently engage technology. We help
them do so in a manner that enables processes, assures compliance,
and provides competitive advantage,” said Michael Pontrelli,
managing director, Huron Legal. “Our expansion to the West Coast
provides Huron with a hub to make our client services even more
effective.”
