Integreon buys US firm Datum Legal

Chris Egan, Datum Legal's founder and CEO, has been named Integreon's senior vice-president who will oversee the company's discovery solutions business. The Phillipines-based Ayala Corporation, Integreon's majority shareholder, provided funds for the acquisition.

The size of the deal, however, was not disclosed.

Integreon has over 400 offshore professionals reviewing litigation documents for law firms. With the addition of Datum Legal's capabilities, Integreon will now offer an integrated discovery management solution with a guaranteed fixed-price per document.

Furthermore, the acquisition will help corporations and law firms deal with a single point of contact for all the key elements of an e-discovery case – professional services, data reduction through analytics, processing, hosting, and attorney review.
