Investcorp completes sale of law services firm

MANAMA, February 1, 2016

Bahrain-based Investcorp, a leading provider and manager of alternative investment products, has completed the sale of law services firm Veritext Holdings to private equity firm Pamplona Capital Management.

Founded in 1997, Veritext is a leader in deposition and litigation support services. Veritext provides law firms, Fortune 500 corporations and regulatory agencies with national coverage, state-of-the-art facilities, highly skilled court reporters, advanced technology and unparalleled client service.

During Investcorp’s ownership, Veritext doubled its sales force, completed 16 strategic add-on acquisitions, opened two offices in new markets, invested in technology and marketing, and built a robust corporate structure. With over 500 employees and over 40 offices located in the largest legal markets in the US, Veritext’s geographic footprint spans the entire country.
 
“When Investcorp acquired Veritext in 2010, we knew the company had the potential for growth in the litigation services market,” said Mohammed Al-Shroogi, Co-CEO at Investcorp.

“Through organic and inorganic strategic initiatives, Veritext has grown faster than the industry. Veritext’s robust expansion coupled with the company’s ability to generate strong free cash flow has created significant value to all stakeholders. It has been a pleasure to support and work alongside co-founder and CEO Nancy Josephs and the management team, and we congratulate them on their achievements.”

Fahad Murad, managing director at Investcorp for Bahrain, said: “In the six years since Investcorp acquired Veritext, our North American Corporate Investment team worked closely alongside the management team to strengthen its position within the litigation services market. We wish Veritext the best of luck under new ownership.”

Investcorp helped Veritext differentiate itself in the market by upgrading its technology platform using innovative, customer-friendly technologies, streamlining the deposition process, and enhancing delivery flexibility. Proprietary video, advanced mobile apps, and flexible remote services combined with unmatched security ensure that Veritext clients have the best tools available to meet their complex needs.

“We have enjoyed partnering with Investcorp and greatly appreciate all of the resources and expertise that Investcorp has provided over the past six years. Investcorp has helped us become the premier brand in deposition services that we are today,” said Josephs at Veritext. – TradeArabia News Service
