Magna Legal Services

What Magna Legal Services does

Magna Legal Services is a U.S.-headquartered, end-to-end litigation support platform founded in 2007 in Philadelphia, operating 32 office locations across all major U.S. regions as of April 2026. The company serves law firms, insurance companies, corporations, and government agencies with three integrated service pillars: (1) Discovery Services including court reporting and virtual depositions through the Magna LitigationVision (MLV) platform, record retrieval via the TrakView portal with access to over 1 million hospitals and facilities, investigative services, social media surveillance (ClaimScout/ClaimScout+), service of process, document filing, and language services in 1,000+ languages through Language OnCall; (2) Jury Research & Consulting, featuring the AI-powered JuryConfirm 20/20 online focus-group platform, the patent-pending JuryEvaluator damages assessment tool, JuryScout juror surveillance, and witness preparation; and (3) Trial Services including TrialGraphix visual communications, trial presentation technology, and courtroom/war room setup.

The business model is professional-services billing per engagement or per record, with a corporate subscription tier offering 20-25% savings over market rates, dedicated account management, monthly savings reports, and e-billing. Revenue is generated through per-proceeding court reporting fees, per-record retrieval charges, project-based jury consulting fees, and usage-based interpretation pricing. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with dedicated account management teams, inside sales with 24-hour nationwide scheduling, and event-driven demand generation through CLE programs, webinars, and the Magna Battle of the Experts conference. Customer concentration is horizontal across thousands of law firm and insurance carrier clients rather than vertically concentrated.

Since 2018, Magna has operated as a platform company under private equity sponsor CIVC Partners, executing ten acquisitions through April 2026 including On Time Reporting (2022), TrialGraphix (2023), City Record Services (2023), Bosco Legal Services (2024), E-Legal (2025), EveryWord (2025), Pipkins Investigations (2025), and JD Legal Support (2026). The company does not publicly disclose revenue, but its expanded workforce of 800+ employees plus a 6,000+ network of court reporters and interpreters positions it as one of the largest litigation support firms in the U.S. market.
