Xact Data Discovery (XDD) is acquiring Orange Legal Technologies – with the move likely to lead to market expansion.

XDD is a provider of e-discovery, data management and managed review services for corporations, government agencies and law firms. Orange Legal Technologies (OrangeLT) is a provider of audit, investigation and litigation support services. OrangeLT also provides diverse discovery services, too, from forensic data collection to document review.

“Orange Legal Technologies is regarded for their managed review service, as well as their specialization in serving select industries, including pharmaceutical/medical devices; financial services; oil/gas/energy; and intellectual property, antitrust and litigation,” Robert Polus, president and CEO XDD, told Legaltech News. “With XDD's geographic footprint and infrastructure, attorneys in these areas now have even greater access to the expertise and technology we are able to offer as a result of this acquisition.”
