ILS Technologies was founded in 2004, but our roots
in the field of litigation technology run far deeper. ILS
Founder William Hooper, a programmer by trade, began
developing innovative tools for complex litigation during
the historic Exxon Valdez Alaskan oil spill trial in the
early 1990’s. Upon creating a sophisticated trial
presentation solution for that case, Hooper became the
technical lead on many subsequent trials involving other
major oil and gas companies on joint defenses against the
state of Alaska.
Soon after Hooper was asked by Exxon to develop new programs
to process and host electronic data used for litigation
matters. The request led to the development of an
unprecedented document review tool – EDGE – that has since
become the primary review tool of one of the nation’s top
four auditing firms, as well as many Fortune 500
corporations and top law firms throughout the United States.
Hooper has worked on key cases like those of Enron and the
Exxon/Mobil merger where scale was paramount to their
success. In 2004, with an ear to the common complaints of
many of the firms in Houston, Hooper founded Innovative
Litigation Services and set out to create an EDD system that
was fast, innovative and cost efficient.
With an elite team of developers and executives and a host
of large cases under our belt, ILS Technologies has become a
premier litigation services company, providing electronic
document management solutions for corporations and the legal
industry. In 2004 along, our first year in business, ILS
processed and produced more than 15 million documents of
electronic data for some of the top and most prestigious law
firms and corporations in the United States. In our second
year, we processed more than15 million documents per month,
for the same purposes and with the same staff.
Today ILS Technologies is a bona fide industry leader,
highly regarded for our speed and accuracy. With 500+
individual cases processed, ILS creates significant value
through automation and streamlining, all at a much lower
cost to clients than is available anywhere else.
