Acquisition will deepen footprint in Europe and introduce Relativity hosting services to Consilio’s global client base

Consilio, a global leader in eDiscovery and Document Review Services, has acquired U.K.-based Proven Legal Technologies, an eDisclosure and forensic-consulting services provider and Relativity premium-hosting partner.

This acquisition will fuel Consilio’s continued growth by deepening its team of experienced eDiscovery and forensics consulting resources in Europe and enabling it to offer Relativity hosting services to its global clients. 

Proven Legal Technologies, which was founded in 2006 as Palmer Legal Technologies, is one of the longest tenured and most respected eDisclosure and forensic-consulting services providers in the United Kingdom. Having served hundreds of law firms and corporate clients over the years, Proven Legal Technologies augments Consilio’s services with its deep experience in supporting client responses to litigation or inquiries from the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Serious Fraud Office (SFO), European Commission (EC) and other regulatory authorities. 

“We’re very excited to join forces with the Proven Legal Technologies team,” explained Andy Macdonald, Consilio’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our considerable growth in Europe and the sophisticated demands of our clients necessitate a commitment to our internal capabilities and resource pool. Bringing Proven Legal Technologies into the Consilio family helps serve our clients by adding an immensely talented team with an exceptional track record in one of our key markets.”

“We have known the Consilio team for quite some time now and have been very impressed with their capabilities, tremendous growth and expanding global presence,” said Adrian Palmer, managing partner of Proven Legal Technologies. “By partnering with Consilio, we will be able to offer our clients access to a broader array of services in more geographies, at the massive scale necessary for today’s market. Our successful history with Relativity will also create opportunities for cross-client growth. We are very excited about our future.”
