Huron Consulting Group acquired Ascertus Ltd., a London-based source of software solutions and professional services for corporate legal departments and law firms. The addition strengthens Huron Legal's technology implementation offerings for global clients by having common capabilities in both Europe and the United States, according to James Roth, CEO and president, Huron Consulting Group.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Legal departments and law firms are challenged to manage increasing workloads and risk profiles, while staying within budget. Cost control is complicated by the ever-changing legal and regulatory environments," Roth says. "The Ascertus acquisition will allow us to better serve our global clients, and we are pleased to welcome them to the Huron Legal team."
Ascertus provides software implementation services to help clients effectively manage matters and documents while enhancing efficiency and productivity, controlling costs, and mitigating risks. Ascertus assists clients in diverse industries, including financial services, and will continue serving existing clients on current engagements as well as building Huron Legal's U.K. and European presence.
Roy Russell, the founder of Ascertus, will serve as a Huron Legal managing director based in the Company's London office.
