PHILADELPHIA, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Magna Legal Services, a leading provider of litigation support services, is pleased to announce its acquisition of e-Legal, a premier independent service of process firm based in California. This strategic move enhances Magna's already comprehensive suite of services and further strengthens its position as an industry leader in litigation support and consulting.
The acquisition, effective April 8, 2025, was facilitated by Chase Culbertson, Head of M&A at Magna Legal Services. E-Legal's founders, Lisa Huey and Steve Hill, will continue in leadership roles, guiding the e-Legal team as it integrates into the Magna organization.
"We've always taken pride in providing high-quality service with a personal touch," said Lisa Huey, Co-Founder of e-Legal. "Joining forces with Magna allows us to scale our impact without compromising on the values and service standards our clients rely on."

With the addition of e-Legal, Magna's workforce now exceeds 800 employees, 4,000 court reporters, 2,000 interpreters, and 100 litigation consultants across 31 locations across the U.S., positioning the combined company as one of the largest litigation support and consulting firms in the nation—both in size and scope of services. E-Legal's clients will now have access to Magna's full spectrum of litigation services, including court reporting, document translation, interpreting, medical record retrieval, social media surveillance, visual communications, jury consulting, and nationwide service of process.
"The synergy between Magna and e-Legal is incredibly strong," said Jonathan Ackerman, Executive Vice President of Record Retrieval and Co-Founder of Magna Legal Services.
