Applied Discovery Trumpets Growth

Bellevue, Washington-based Applied Discovery, a provider of digital documentation products and services for the legal industry, reported Monday that it has experienced a "major increase" in document-processing levels. The business explained that its processing totals—measured in terabytes of online documents reviewed for discovery in legal matters—more than doubled in 2008 compared to 2007. The firm did not disclose how the increase in business affected its financials, however. Applied Discovery credited the boom to increasing litigation and the "exponential growth" of digital documents such as e-mail, blogs and voice-mail. Acquired by LexisNexis in 2003, Applied Discovery also maintains an East Coast headquarters in New York City and regional offices throughout the country.
