“Our global clients require 24/7 e-discovery services to address their complex and time-sensitive needs,” said Shahzad Bashir, executive vice president, Huron Legal. “Our expansion in India enhances our ability to provide the seamless and highly responsive support that is so critical for our clients.”
Huron Legal is expanding global offerings to clients with the opening of the custom designed 125-seat center in Gurgaon.
“We can now fully serve our clients at any time with our global network,” said Bob Rowe, managing director and head of Discovery services, Huron Legal. “Unlike many, we did not start in India – we brought our tried and tested processes to the country after many successful years in North America and Europe.

The Company’s India facility is also home to a new data operations team. Working together with similar teams in the U.S. and U.K., the India team will provide electronic discovery processing, online hosting, and document production services to Huron Legal’s clients.
