CHICAGO - eTradeWire -- Arbor Ridge Partners, the leading M&A advisory firm for the Legal Technology and Legal Services industry, is pleased to announce that our client, Cicayda, has been acquired by TCDI - a leading provider of legal services, software and cybersecurity.

Cicayda was founded in 2012 by a team of legal experts to provide a full-service eDiscovery ecosystem offering pre-discovery strategy, consulting/testifying experts, managed document review, and a fully cloud based technology platform supported by expert project managers.  Cicayda's processes, procedures, and technology are based on years of industry experience and tailored to provide the client with the most informative and efficient method of discovery management.

The deal will expand TCDI's existing capabilities in eDiscovery, cybersecurity, and managed document review, adding Cicayda's proprietary software to the TCDI technology suite. TCDI will integrate Cicayda's software, iDiscovery®, into its own proprietary technology and services, including augmenting its eDiscovery platform, CVLynx®, with legal hold automation capabilities developed by Cicayda.
