New York, NY, November 6, 2008 - The Dine Group, a division of U.S. Legal Support, Inc. and a premier provider of contract attorneys and paralegals for substantive matters and document review services, today announced the formation of a new strategic alliance with Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ:HURN). The alliance enables Huron and Dine to provide clients with end-to-end e-discovery and document review services from permanent facilities designed to accommodate large-scale e-discovery/document review projects.

“Independently, both Dine and Huron have been committed to greater cost containment and service excellence within the e-discovery field,” said Charles F. Schugart, CEO, U.S. Legal Support, Inc. “Together, we are even better positioned to deliver for our clients and innovate within the discovery space.”

As result of the alliance, the companies will expand their document review center capabilities. The resulting review facility raises the bar for permanent document review centers and establishes a higher standard for professional, custom-designed, dedicated project space. The discovery center, located in Midtown Manhattan, features leading physical and data security systems which are crucial to today’s information protection needs.

“The new document review center is just one more example of Huron’s commitment to shaking up the ‘traditional’ e-discovery landscape to better serve clients,” said Shahzad Bashir, vice president and practice leader for Huron Consulting Group’s Legal Consulting. “In January, we launched V3locity (pronounced “velocity”), which offers guaranteed low cost per reviewed page pricing, sophisticated QC processes and measurable accuracy and concept- based technology unlike anything available in the industry today.”

The Dine Group has also had a long standing commitment to the industry. The Dine Group prides itself on being among the first legal staffing companies to create a comprehensive e-discovery solution for clients. Their ability to quickly and effectively design e-discovery solutions is evidenced by the number and scope of the projects they have completed.

“Dine’s long and successful history of providing high-quality document review solutions is augmented by Huron’s consulting, process and quality control and technology capabilities,” said Dine’s president, Diane McIlree. “Our years of experience make it clear: clients are seeking broader service offerings, transparent and predictable pricing, and measurable results. With Huron on board, we are ready to deliver.”

“Our alliance enables Huron and The Dine Group to apply the core competencies of both companies for higher quality results at a lower, predictable cost,” said Bob Rowe, managing director at Huron Consulting Group. “We recognize the critical importance of people and quality in the e- discovery process and believe that that understanding differentiates us from our peers.”
