MPS Group Acquires Alderson

MPS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MPS), a leading provider of specialty staffing, consulting and business solutions, today announced the acquisition of Alderson Reporting, a privately held company that is a leading provider of technology-enabled litigation and conference support services, including national court reporting, video conferencing and video depositions. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Founded in 1938, Alderson revolutionized court reporting when it carried the first stenotype machines used in Washington, DC to report U.S. Senate committee hearings. Since that time, Alderson has been on the leading edge of litigation technology and become a mainstay in the halls of the federal government. It was the first company in Washington, DC to offer computerized transcripts; the first to deliver magnetic media to the House of Representatives; the first to offer PC-based software programs that attorneys could use with depositions, and the first to archive transcripts and exhibits for remote access by attorneys. Alderson utilizes leading-edge technologies to offer complete video-to-text synchronization and exhibit indexing and linking.

DuPont recognized Alderson’s commitment to technology with its 2002 “Meeting the Challenge” award for Alderson’s online transcript and exhibit repository which saved more than $40,000 in one case alone.

In 2003, Arnold & Porter, LLP named Alderson as its sole preferred provider based upon its technology, commitment to client service and diversity.

Through the years, Alderson has been asked to cover highly sensitive investigations as well as matters of great public interest. These include the Warren Commission on President Kennedy's Assassination, Report of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident (1986), and the September 11, 2001 Victim’s Compensation Fund. Alderson’s client base includes top law firms from across the United States, Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States.

“Today, Special Counsel® is the country’s largest legal staffing firm and the clear leader in this specialty," said John Marshall, president of MPS Group's legal services unit. "We plan to continue to grow our legal staffing business by entering new markets and winning share in existing markets. We also plan to drive growth by developing and delivering new service lines such as Concise®, our online deposition digesting service, Legal Nurse Services and, with our acquisition of Alderson, litigation support services. Historically, large-scale staffing firms have not been particularly successful in penetrating the more than $1 billion market for court reporting and litigation support services. We believe we will be successful because we enter this market with a strong platform created by Alderson, a firm with proven national delivery capabilities and a commitment to quality, and because we can leverage our extensive distribution channel and strong client relationships. We welcome Alderson’s outstanding staff and management.”
