Press Release Summary: New Managing Attorney Enhances Legal Advantage's Role in
Document Review Service Offerings

Press Release Body: Bethesda, MD-Legal Advantage, LLC announces the promotion of
Ashar Akhtar to Managing Attorney-Operations. In this expanded role, Mr. Akhtar will
continue Legal Advantage's mission of providing timely and affordable document
review services to Law Firms and Corporations throughout the United States and
abroad.

With over seven years of experience as an attorney in metropolitan Washington DC
area, Mr. Akhtar understands the intricacies of large-scale document review and
legal research.

He previously held a number of positions at both private law firms and large federal
government contractors. Additionally, he has contracted at several Am Law 100 law
firms as well as Fortune 500 corporations and has worked on large scale document
reviews for a number of federal agencies and corporate clients representing varied
industries, including, investment banking, public health, and financial regulation.

"During my time in private practice, as well as my time contracting with large law
firms and corporations, I was fortunate to be able to work at organizations that
genuinely cared about providing quality legal advice. These days, the emphasis
seems to be so much more so on quantity, whether it is the number of large clients,
or the amount of billing hours an attorney accumulates. This is especially true in
the document review part of the e-Discovery process, where diligence and
thoroughness is often compromised for speed. In this sense, making the step to
Legal Advantage was perfect. I was able to find an organization whose corporate
culture emphasized excellence in litigation support services. It sounds cliché, but
it really is nice to find a company that promotes quality over quantity. The unique
thing about Legal Advantage is that we have the facilities and manpower already in
place to deliver large-scale document review, and that makes the ability to focus on
superior service that much easier. With this promotion, I am very much looking
forward to continuing with the professional and ethical value system in which I am
comfortable."

Mr. Akhtar graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of
Virginia in 1997 with a B.S. in Commerce/Finance and then earned his J.D. from the
College of William & Mary School of Law. He is currently enrolled in an M.A.
program for Library & Information Science at the University of South Florida and is
a member of the District of Columbia Bar Association.

Mirza Baig, CEO of Legal Advantage, LLC, stated "This well deserved promotion is a
result of Ashar's extreme dedication and success within our organization. He has
been quickly recognized by his co-workers and our clients as an expert in managing
large and complex document review projects."
