On Tuesday, e-discovery and legal services provider Consilio announced it had acquired fellow legal services provider Legility for an undisclosed sum. The deal capped an active year for Consilio, which saw a new investor in Stone Point Capital join in April, followed by high-profile M&A activity with Xact Data Discovery (XDD) and Special Counsel’s EQ and D4 units in the months following.
Soon after the deal, Consilio CEO Andy Macdonald sat down with Legaltech News for a chat about the acquisition, Consilio’s wild 2021, and where the company intends to grow from here. And to hear Macdonald tell it, he wasn’t expecting the past nine months to be as action-packed as they turned out to be: “This wouldn’t have been my scheme to do these three deals as quickly as we did, but at the timing was right.”
