Harbor Global, a provider of legal tech consulting services, has bought Ascertus. The target is a key implementation partner for iManage and works with both corporate law departments and law firms.
Harbor was created by the combination of legacy organisations HBR Consulting, LAC Group, and Wilson Allen. They have an integrated team of over 800 strategists and technologists focused on the legal sector. Meanwhile, Ascertus provides KM and document lifecycle management consultancy services.
Earlier this year Harbor acquired Pinnacle, another UK-based legal technology services provider with additional offices in Canada and Australia, further expanding its global footprint.
Matt Sunderman, CEO of Harbor, said: ‘The acquisition of Ascertus bolsters our legal technology services, particularly in the UK and EMEA, and enhances our ability to support corporate legal teams and law firms as they adopt cloud-based solutions and AI-driven technologies. Ascertus’s reputation for delivering high-quality results aligns perfectly with Harbor’s ambitious commitment to the success of our clients.’
Roy Russell, founder and CEO of Ascertus, concluded: ‘I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished over the last 20 years, and I’m confident that joining forces with Harbor represents the perfect opportunity to continue delivering success for our clients and growth for our employees.’
Russell will transition from his full-time role, but will continue as a senior adviser during the integration process. Damian Jeal, COO of Ascertus, will step into a new global leadership role spearheading Harbor’s content management and collaboration solutions, they added.
