Corporation Service CompanySM (CSC) Announces the Acquisition of "PowerBrief"

Wilmington, DE (January 25, 2002) -Corporation Service CompanySM (CSC), a leading provider of Law Office and Registered Agent services for business and attorneys, today announced the acquisition of the technology and applications assets of the PowerBrief Company. PowerBrief, based in Houston, Texas provides lawyers and their clients with affordable litigation and matter management services to reduce the cost of litigation and enhance communications among legal team members. This new level of collaboration promises significant advantages over existing litigation management applications.

CSC will immediately integrate PowerBrief's litigation management applications into its own award-winning entity database and compliance services, enabling them to offer an entirely new level of Registered Agent service for corporations. Using information and data already collected and available such as Service of Process history and basic corporate governance records, CSCs systems will automatically pre-populate litigation information that can be used to manage insurance reporting, document distribution and matter and litigation budget systems without costly re-keying or redundant data entry. This information can be securely shared by both outside counsel and other members of the legal defense team. The new service will be an integral part of CSC's offering of a complete law office solution combining corporate compliance, governance, intellectual property and litigation management into a single highly secure internet based set of applications.

This new litigation integration evolved through many recent steps that CSC has taken to become the leading provider of registered agent and related compliance and litigation services. First they introduced the innovative Service of Process History function, which allows corporations and their law firms to track in real-time the status of any SOP in which they are involved. Next, they were able to integrate the Entity information contained in registered agent files into an electronic Tax filing function, eliminating the need to re-enter basic tax information such as directors and officers multiple times for individual entity filings. The third step in this integration process is the acquisition of PowerBrief, which has become the cornerstone of CSC's integrated litigation management system.

CSC's primary objective is to simplify the way the corporate law office manages the information necessary to administer its compliance, governance and litigation responsibilities. By linking corporate data already available in legacy or public databases with specialized filing and transactional compliance requirements, CSC can significantly reduce costs while also simplifying these processes. CSC becomes the only registered agent to successfully connect the logistics of forwarding Service of Process on a timely basis to the overriding goal of reducing the expense of litigation. PowerBrief will make it possible to view and distribute litigation documents from the moment of Service without costly additional software or changes to existing procedures.

Corporation Service Company is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. With over 100 years of experience and innovation, CSC offers clients corporate compliance management services, public record document and retrieval services, litigation management and registered agent services, including its Custom SOPSM (Service of Process) product suite.
