Milberg, a class action and complex litigation firm, has made structural changes, spinning off its litigation support and data hosting services division into an independently-owned business.

Renamed Meta-e Discovery, the new business will continue to serve litigants, mainly plaintiffs, throughout the discovery process from the beginning of a case assessment to trial.

“The principal purpose [of the spin off] is to enable the business to be more flexible and nimble to its litigation support and data hosting clients' needs. Working under the umbrella of a law firm can pose some limitations insofar as growth opportunities, including servicing other law firms. We now have a broader base for business development,” Paul H. McVoy, who was appointed Milberg's chief discovery officer in February, told Legaltech news. He said this move will enable the company to market itself in a new, distinct way, which will allow it to grow dramatically in the short term.
