Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, a subsidiary of Deloitte LLP, has acquired substantially all the assets of IE Discovery, a provider of electronic discovery management and litigation support solutions that primarily serves federal government clients.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed in the June 25 announcement.

"By combining Deloitte's strong existing e-discovery capabilities with IE Discovery's deep experience in discovery management and litigation support, we will offer expanded solutions to our federal government clients," CEO David Williams said in the announcement.
