NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 28, 2007) - SPi, a leading provider of electronic
discovery and document coding services to the legal industry, has been
cited in the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey as a "Top 20"
overall service provider. SPi is also ranked "Top 10" by both corporate
law departments and major law firms.
"We are happy to be recognized for our top-tier electronic discovery
offering. We are particularly pleased to be cited by both law firms and
corporate legal departments," said Charley Otto, Vice President, Sales.
"Law firms recognize us for our exceptional service, a big issue for them,
and our corporate clients recognize our ability to help manage the risks
and costs of electronic discovery."
SPi was also named "Top 10" in four categories that relate to project
phases of discovery: Collection, Processing, Review and Analysis. These
results point to SPi's growth and outstanding reputation as an end-to-end
service provider in electronic discovery and litigation support.
"From a strategic standpoint, we've been focusing on developing and
providing our clients with an integrated, cost-effective e-discovery
solution," said Chuck Kellner, Vice President of Consulting & Project
Engineering. "Our data collection practice is growing, and our Data
Analytics offering has been a huge market differentiator. Our clients
understand how it saves time and money in review as well as how it helps
them get ready for meet-and-confer."
Kellner went on to say, "Over the years, we have hosted many terabytes of
review, and just recently, we launched a managed review service at per
document prices. SPi Legal is a team of experienced and thoughtful
industry leaders, and it is heartening to see this kind of recognition."
