Alliance Provides Secure, End-to-End E-Discovery Support and Technology

Catalyst today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with American Discovery, a worldwide provider of legal process outsourcing services for managed document review, litigation support, discovery consulting, legal research and contract management to law firms, corporations and government organizations.

By uniting American Discovery’s skilled services with Catalyst’s advanced technology, the alliance will benefit both companies’ clients by providing high-quality, efficient end-to-end e-discovery integration. American Discovery specializes in helping its clients find the right technology for their needs and blending that technology with their legal expertise.

“Combined with the extensive legal and e-discovery experience of our project managers and review teams, Catalyst’s sophisticated platform enables American Discovery to not only efficiently deliver a specialized review solution, but also supports our attorneys in becoming fact experts who provide actionable insight into the matter and in whom clients can rely upon as true partners as the matter progresses,” said Howard Hoffmann, American Discovery executive director and advisory board member.

The alliance is unique in that both companies originated out of law firms and continue to employ a number of lawyers as executives, consultants and service providers. As a result, both companies offer high levels of expertise and understanding in the issues and challenges lawyers face in e-discovery.

The two companies also share a strong commitment to information security. Both embed privacy and security protections into their systems and are committed to the highest levels of diligence in protecting their clients’ data. 

“American Discovery is an established, high-quality provider of discovery services with a particular expertise in managed review services,” said John Tredennick, Catalyst’s founder and CEO. “Its services and expertise align perfectly with our services and technology, enabling us to provide clients superior service from the start of a project all the way through to the end.”

Catalyst’s Global Partner Program is a network of end-to-end technology and services that help clients lower their total cost of discovery. Catalyst and its alliance partners work together to integrate Catalyst’s powerful web-based repositories and innovative software with services to cover the full spectrum of e-discovery—from identification and collection through review, production and presentation.
