MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jun 11, 2014 --
Ricoh Canada Inc. announced today that it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire Commonwealth Legal Inc. The acquisition is
anticipated to close within the next 60 days.
The transaction provides tremendous benefits for both organizations, and
significantly impacts the quality of products and services available to
Canadian customers in the litigation support services space.
Commonwealth Legal will continue to service their customers as they do
today, and will effectively remain unchanged from an operational
perspective.
According to Glenn Laverty, President and CEO of Ricoh Canada,
"Commonwealth Legal and Ricoh Canada are an ideal fit for each other.
The mark of a great acquisition is where both parties gain a competitive
advantage, and are able to mutually show an immediate and positive
impact. This is the exact scenario we have here."
Commonwealth Legal is a well-respected litigation support and ediscovery
provider that specializes in secure cloud-based ediscovery and
archiving solutions and services with an emphasis on security, quality
and defensibility. This expertise, along with their unique Managed
Services offering, complements Ricoh Canada's strong reputation for
Legal Document Services (LDS) - a portfolio of services that deliver
Document Management/Content Management offerings, including document
imaging and IT services, tailored specifically to the legal market.
"As a division of Ricoh Canada we will be able to combine our expertise
and technology solutions with Ricoh's capacity, resources, and
commitment to customer service," says Karen Brookman, President of
Commonwealth Legal. "We have always operated as a specialized boutique
service provider to Canadian law firms, government agencies and
corporations. Now as part of Ricoh Canada, a trusted Canadian company
with global reach, we will deliver an unparalleled full-service offering
to our clients with more ease and accessibility than ever before."
