In September 1997, eight people met in front of a small storefront in the South Bronx to change the way low-income people were represented in the criminal justice system: a small, dedicated group of lawyers, a social worker, an office manager, a part-time investigator and a receptionist. Now, 18 years later, clients walking through our doors are met with a staff of over 250 advocates who remain as committed to public defense as ever. Our office is comprised of criminal defense attorneys, family attorneys, social workers, housing attorneys, employment attorneys, immigration attorneys, benefits specialists, investigators, community organizers, team administrators, civil legal advocates, and parent advocates.

Consilio stands as one of the most recognized, well regarded and capable eDiscovery, document review and legal consulting service providers anywhere in the world. This is how we got here. Originally founded in 2002 as First Advantage Litigation Consulting, Consilio was originally focused on providing Forensics Consulting services to multinational corporate clients who were beginning to struggle with the Big Data challenges of electronically stored information (ESI). With the technology addition from the acquisition of True Data Partners – which built data processing software that had a strength in multilingual document processing – Consilio began to expand its footprint into data processing and eDiscovery services. In late 2005, Consilio launched its web-based review technology, Global RPM, and Secure Data Hosting services. From 2006 to 2010, Consilio created and expanded its operations in Europe and Asia. We established an India-based operations team to enable follow-the-sun support for our increasingly global client base. That period also saw the addition of a deeper bench of technical consulting resources that focused on providing eDiscovery services and eDiscovery consulting as well as document review services. In the early 2010’s, Consilio continued its expansion and investment in Europe and Asia in response to client inquiries and the growth of cross-border litigation. This period also saw Consilio’s introduction of its industry-leading Enhanced Audio Review solution, as well as the introduction of text analytics workflows in the Global RPM review platform. In 2013, First Advantage Litigation Consulting rebranded to Consilio. From 2010 to today, Consilio has continued on its path of investing in its people, workflows, and technologies to serve a diverse global client base of law firms and corporations across a wide spectrum of industries and practice areas.
