3 HISTORY Offshore Research Partners was founded with the vision to provide attorneys with solutions they had long wished for. The firm was founded in 2009 by Ashish Arun, who at the time, had been successfully managing the Daubert Tracker legal research database, worked on product innovation and testing assignments with LexisNexis and had managed 50-state legal research projects for the Northwestern University. After gaining years of valuable experience with top research firms and publishing houses and having provided manifold research solutions to various law firms, the foundation for Offshore Research Partners was already laid. Aiming to use his personal experience and expertise in the field of legal research, Ashish set out to form a team of attorneys at par with the best legal minds in the world. Within days of its inception, Myles Levin, CEO and President of Daubert Tracker LLC, came onboard as a Strategic Partner bringing with him rich experience in the field of Expert Witness Research and Litigation. Today, ORP has a full-fledged team of highly skilled attorneys with extensive training on the different aspects of U.S. and European legal systems. We also have a temporary team of U.S. qualified attorneys who assist the Indian team on a need-to basis. ORP s office in Evanston, IL (USA) serves our U.S. based customers by providing on-location support on all aspects of our practice. CLIENTELE Offshore Research Partners has forged exclusive relationships with Daubert Tracker LLC, Expert Witness Profiler LLC and Check Your Pro, three of the leading providers of Expert Witness and Disciplinary Research Services in the United States, to name a few. By way of its association with leading providers of legal tools and services, ORP works for several AmLaw00 firms and has many happy clients in the United States, Europe and India.

14 ORP is uniquely positioned to cater to all your legal research needs. Read why ORP can be your ideal research partner! ADVANTAGE KOLKATA Located in the eastern state of West Bengal, Kolkata is the principal commercial, cultural and educational center of Eastern India. With a rich heritage and a large English speaking population, Kolkata is an ideal choice for an outsourcing firm like ORP. The city is home to the reputable National University of Juridical Sciences, one of the top law schools in India, and 5 other premier law schools which produce about 500 law graduates every year. This helps ORP source local talent and scale up instantly based on client needs. The medium of instruction at all law schools is English which ensures that the city meets the ever-increasing demand for English-speaking lawyers at a consistent rate. While the city s economy has been growing at a fast pace, Kolkata still has the lowest cost of living index among all major cities in India such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. This results in lower operating costs for ORP as compared to other LPOs in India, which in turn, enables us to offer the most competitive prices to our clients. 202 Offshore Research Partners All Rights Reserved
