Further Strengthens Huron’s Discovery Market Leadership

Huron Consulting Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of financial and operational consulting services, today announced the opening of a new document review center in Chicago and a newly-formed alliance with the document review and electronic discovery company, Discovery Services LLC (DSL).

“We are thrilled to announce this new alliance with DSL along with the build out of a new document review center at our Chicago headquarters,” said Gary E. Holdren, chairman and chief executive officer, Huron Consulting Group. “With the explosion of electronic documents and the amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for electronic discovery, more and more corporate legal teams and law firms are turning to Huron to manage discovery with ever expanding document collections. Huron helps control ballooning costs and reduce risks from preservation through review and production.”

Huron has long been a leader in the e-discovery marketplace, and the alliance with DSL only adds increased value to the Company’s role as trusted business advisor to offices of general counsel and their law firms. DSL founder and CEO Ashish Prasad has an unparalleled reputation in e-discovery matters. Prasad founded and led Mayer Brown LLP’s Electronic Discovery and Records Management Group. He is a frequent author and speaker on electronic discovery, and has served, among other things, as the co-editor in chief of the forthcoming Practicing Law Institute Treatise, Electronic Discovery (2008), the executive editor of the original edition of The Sedona Principles: Best Practices Principles & Recommendations for Addressing Electronic Document Production, and a member of the Leadership Committee of the American Bar Association Minority Counsel program. DSL will provide document review, electronic discovery, records management, expert testimony and consulting services with Huron as its exclusive partner.

The Company decided to open its newest document review center in Chicago given the strength of Huron’s relationships with the business and legal communities in the Midwest region. Huron’s document review centers combine technology with efficient processes all in a secure environment. This, in turn, delivers accurate analyses on a cost-effective basis. The result is an integrated review process that is substantially faster, more accurate and less expensive than more traditional review services.
