E-Discovery Consolidation: In a trend that has prevailed for multiple years now, consolidation in the legal tech space—among e-discovery providers in particular—continued at a strong clip in 2017. Things tailed off a bit from 2016, a torrid year of deal-making in which there were 36 M&As or investments among e-discovery providers, the three largest of which exceeded $1.5 billion in total value. According to Complex Discovery’s tracking, in 2017 thus far there have been 23 mergers or investments. That is still considerable activity, and it may be driven in part by clients’ preference for “one stop shops” providing comprehensive e-discovery services. Also playing a role, no doubt, is the fact that acquisitions offer a way for private equity-backed e-discovery providers to maintain strong growth rates in the maturing e-discovery market. You can question whether rampant consolidation in the e-discovery area is a good thing—and some do—but it does not appear to be letting up.
