SYRACUSE — Avalon Document Services has expanded its employee count in Florida with its acquisition of Southeastern Document Services (SDS), a small Tampa, Florida–based litigation support and eDiscovery provider.
Syracuse–based Avalon didn’t disclose financial terms of the acquisition.
Under the deal, Avalon will retain all three SDS employees and expects to add several workers in the next 12 months, the company said. Avalon has a total employee count of 120.
Avalon had opened an office in Florida earlier this year and plans to combine the SDS and Avalon offices into one new location in October.
During the transition, the current SDS office will continue to be known as Southeastern Document Services “under the Avalon Document Services parent name,” according to an Avalon news release.
Ken McKee, former owner of SDS, will remain with the company as an executive in the legal-services division.
Avalon is “always” looking for companies that share a “common culture and SDS was a great fit,” JP Midgley, CEO of Avalon, said.
“We are excited to build upon their long tenure in the market and provide enhanced service offerings to their loyal clients,” he noted.
SDS “already offers a variety” of litigation-support services, and the merger allows it to provide additional services, according to Avalon.
They include eDiscovery services, relativity hosting, cyber security, digital forensics, accident reconstruction, facilities management, and business-document services.
Avalon is headquartered at 901 N. State St. in Syracuse and has additional offices in Utica, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, and Tampa, Florida.
Its suite of services includes business printing and copying, document imaging and scanning, large-format and contractor services, litigation-support services, e-discovery, and facilities management, according to its website.
