Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP (Deloitte FAS) has just purchased a stake in Barrasso Consulting LLC, a firm specialising in planning and executing litigation discovery programs. As part of the transaction, Barrasso will be fully integrated within Deloitte FAS' forensic and dispute services practice as a new service called ‘document review services’.

The purchase completes Deloitte FAS’ continuum of services it already offers – from discovery, including all aspects of electronic discovery, to document review, through complex forensic investigations and analyses, to final deliverables.

Based in New Jersey, USA, Barrasso specialises in electronic and hard copy data collection and document review, enabling companies to organise files and respond more quickly and efficiently in the event of litigation.

About 80 Barrasso professionals will form the foundation of the new service, including Diane Barrasso, Barrasso founder and president, who will join Deloitte FAS as a principal and national service line leader of the document review services team. Jean Weir, a senior Barrasso manager, will join as a director.
