Rochester, NY and Jacksonville, Fl (PRWEB) October 04, 2016 -- Special Counsel, the leading full-service provider of legal staffing and eDiscovery solutions, today announced the acquisition of D4, LLC, a leader in eDiscovery managed services, information governance, computer forensics and deposition solutions. Together, the companies will offer comprehensive eDiscovery and litigation support across an international footprint, bringing global perspective and a strong history of providing first-class, niche services to the legal industry.

Together with Special Counsel and its parent company the Adecco Group, our global presence will be stronger than ever and our customers will have streamlined access to the best pool of legal talent and solutions in the business

“We are seeing tremendous growth in the eDiscovery space, and the appetite for these services continues to gain momentum within the legal community,” said Laurie Chamberlin, president, Special Counsel. “D4 was a pioneer of eDiscovery solutions when it was founded nearly two decades ago, and we are proud to bring them on board to offer a combined 45 years of legal industry know-how.”

D4 is based in Rochester, New York, with strong roots across the U.S. and a presence in Shanghai, China. At the heels of Special Counsel’s recent expansion into London, the acquisition means the two companies will provide amplified eDiscovery and legal staffing coverage through a growing international network. Not only will they offer best-in-class technology powered by some of the brightest minds in eDiscovery, but they will also be able to staff customers with the legal industry’s top talent to help at every stage of the eDiscovery process.

“We are driven to be the best at what we do for our clients, and this move is another step forward in taking our eDiscovery services to new heights,” said John Holland, founder and CEO of D4. “Together with Special Counsel and its parent company the Adecco Group, our global presence will be stronger than ever and our customers will have streamlined access to the best pool of legal talent and solutions in the business, unlocking doors that will enable us to make a bigger impact and remain at the forefront of eDiscovery.”

“This is an exciting time to be in the eDiscovery space, with an increased need for our services to go beyond U.S. borders,” added Chris Gallagher, senior vice president of national discovery solutions for Special Counsel. “Our businesses bring together the best people and technology in the industry.”

Following the acquisition, the well-respected D4 brand will remain intact, and its headquarters will stay in Rochester, New York, with Holland continuing as CEO. In addition, Special Counsel’s existing eDiscovery division, eQ, will remain dedicated to its clients.
