Questel acquires doeLEGAL

Questel announces the acquisition of doeLEGAL, an Enterprise Legal Management and eDiscovery legal technology company based in Wilmington, Delaware, with 50 years of experience. doeLEGAL’s mission is to provide clients with control over their cases and costs in order to make better-informed decisions.

“Questel and doeLEGAL share the same software DNA, and decades of proven best practices ensuring IP and legal teams have secure access to the most advanced data management technology,” said Tom Russo, CEO of doeLEGAL.

Questel has built a true end-to-end integrated platform of software and services addressing all the Intellectual Property needs and already covers more general legal needs such as invoice and cost management, which are very synergetic with ELM solutions.

“The Legaltech field is adjacent to Intellectual Property, and it will help fortify our core business to become a strong player in its periphery,” said Charles Besson, CEO of Questel.

Marks Baughan Securities LLC served as the exclusive financial advisor to doeLEGAL on this transaction.
