Acquisition expands Consilio’s client offering in Australia with enhanced expertise, technology, and local capabilities.
Consilio, a global leader in technology-enabled legal services, today announced its acquisition of icourts, an Australian eDiscovery provider offering end-to-end electronic evidence management for law firms, corporate legal departments, and government organisations. This acquisition builds on Consilio’s continued investment in Australia, following the integration of elaw and the establishment of dedicated data centres in Sydney and Melbourne.
icourts’ clients gain access to Consilio’s broader technology, team, and delivery resources in Australia across complex legal, regulatory, and investigative matters. As organisations navigate increasing complexity, they are seeking trusted partners with local expertise, global scale and specialist capability to support them across every stage of their legal lifecycle, from domestic matters through to complex cross-border matters. This acquisition further strengthens its ability to meet that need.
By bringing icourts’ offerings across the eDiscovery lifecycle into Consilio’s operations as the world's largest AI legal data technology provider, clients of both companies gain expanded local expertise and resources spanning forensic technology, eDiscovery, evidence management, ecourts, and technology development solutions. The integration also further strengthens Consilio's regional capabilities in supporting complex Royal Commissions and large-scale investigations, building on icourts’ long-standing experience delivering secure, technology-enabled evidence management for some of Australia’s most significant matters.
"This acquisition reflects our confidence in the Australian market and adds further scale and broader capabilities to our Australian business," said Drew Macaulay, Managing Director, APAC & EMEA for Consilio. "Rebecca and her team have built an outstanding reputation supporting some of Australia’s most complex Royal Commissions, public inquiries and digital court proceedings. icourts’ expertise complements our existing capabilities very well and further strengthens our ability to support clients across the full spectrum of litigation, investigations and regulatory matters."
"Joining Consilio marks an exciting new chapter for our team and our clients," said Rebecca Grant, Founder and CEO of icourts. " Consilio provides the ideal platform to build on what we’ve created at icourts, giving our clients access to global expertise, leading technology and expanded capabilities, while preserving the local service, personal approach and trusted relationships they know and value.”
The acquisition is another step in Consilio's long-term growth strategy for Australia, strengthening its presence in a market that continues to evolve rapidly.
