Tusker Stampedes Legal Cost Savings through Outsourced Legal Review


Austin, TX, - July 25, 2006 - Tusker Group, LP, a global service organization
providing business and knowledge process outsourcing to law firms and corporate
legal departments - electronic discovery, data extraction, first stage discovery
and objective and subjective coding - today announced the availability of first
level document review services via an outsourced model.

Tusker Group now offers first level document review to law firms and corporate
counsel world-wide, utilizing a hybrid method that leverages its international
operations with proprietary processes and technology. With proven methodologies,
Tusker Group's solution can offer savings up to 70% on typical first level document
review projects, as compared to review done by domestic in-house or contract
attorneys. By maintaining an internationally distributed work force of 300+ legal
and technical professionals, Tusker Group offers cohesive teams, secure storage and
communications, and rapid "first level" document review.

In a recent KPMG study of legal cases, it was concluded that a major portion of
litigation costs are associated with first level document review. First level review
was found to constitute from 58 to 90% of total pre-trial costs. Over the past ten
years, technology has advanced to the point where converting, scanning and indexing
documents is extremely efficient and cost-effective. In contrast, labor costs for
domestic attorneys to review documents continue to spiral upward, due to the
increasing amount of electronic data and evidence being generated. Tusker Group,
with its dedicated teams of legal professionals, can provide significant cost
savings, increased quality and faster response times to meet critical deadlines and
budgets.

"Tusker Group is leading the legal services industry to the next plateau. By
continuing to add value, technology and processes, as well as maintaining highly
educated and trained teams, we are driving legal discovery and review costs down
while increasing the level of quality and efficiency," said Michael Dolan, CEO of
Tusker Group, LP. "Our ability to utilize trained resources world-wide translates
into potential savings in the millions of dollars in large cases."
