LONDON, March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Establishes UNIFIED as a Leading, Global Legal Process Outsourcing Platform

UNIFIED, a leading provider of eDiscovery and managed review services to Fortune 1000 corporations, global law firms, and government agencies operating across Europe today announced it has been acquired by Inventus Solutions, Inc. ("Inventus" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. based eDiscovery and managed services provider backed by Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. ("Clearlake"). Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Inventus' strength and depth in the U.S., coupled with UNIFIED's footprint across EMEA and APAC, creates an international, full legal process outsourcing ("LPO") solution with the capability of servicing target clientele operating in multiple jurisdictions across the globe. Appealing particularly to law firms and general counsel needing to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional matters, the companies will pool their industry leading methodologies, proprietary technologies and resources to promote innovation and best practices across their respective portfolios.

The two companies share a common client-centric, outcomes-based approach and a track record of technical excellence, both achieving kCura Relativity's Best in Service accolade four years running. The companies will have over 220 employees operating around the globe.

Commenting on the alliance, Paul Mankoo, CEO of UNIFIED, said: "We have built a reputation for solid quality and service delivery over the years and through this transaction we now have the additional financial backing from Clearlake, substance and added operational reach that clients increasingly demand to support them globally. It is a highly complementary and welcome partnership: we both operate as consulting practices focused on achieving optimum outcomes through the intelligent application of thought and technology. Together we can leverage our global reach to seamlessly manage our clients' needs."

"We are excited to partner with the Unified team and look forward to building on the impressive growth and execution capabilities achieved to date. We are committed to expanding the global reach of our platform as we continue to focus on providing our clients with a best in class, one stop solution for all phases of the legal discovery process," added Trevor Campion, CEO of Inventus.

Unified's leadership team will join the Inventus management team led by Trevor Campion. Unified's operations will continue to be led by Paul Mankoo and Noel Kilby who join the Company as President of Inventus International and Chief Technology Officer, respectively.

"With our likeminded culture of excellence and a rigorous approach to client care and management of projects, we will be able to deliver faster, better, more cost-effective solutions across our respective territories and beyond," added Kilby.

"Inventus and Unified have tremendous foundations as leaders in the eDiscovery sector and broader LPO market in the United States and Europe, respectively. Unified has a stellar reputation for consistently providing robust execution on highly complex litigation and regulatory matters which makes it a great fit for Inventus," said Behdad Eghbali and Prashant Mehrotra of Clearlake. "The European eDiscovery and managed review markets are growing tremendously and we believe this acquisition uniquely positions Inventus as a leading LPO platform in the global market," added Clearlake.

GE Capital's Telecom, Media and Technology team provided financing to support the transaction.
