CT TyMetrix Successfully Completes Initial UK Rollout of CT TyMetrix 360 with Clients, Including BP — Culminates Year of “Firsts” for CT TyMetrix in UK

Company at the Forefront of Global Legal E-Billing; Looks to Continue Expansion in 2008

HARTFORD, Conn. & LONDON — CT TyMetrix, the global leader in Web-based law department management solutions, today announced that it has successfully completed the UK launch of its flagship product, CT TyMetrix 360 for several of its UK clients, including BP. Implemented in June 2007 in the UK, CT TyMetrix 360 now supports its UK clients by providing a global law department management system that helps them manage their matters, finances and performance.

Because of regulations like the Companies Act and Sarbanes-Oxley, it is critical that law departments have governance mechanisms in place for the management of risk and spend. Around the world, law departments are turning to CT TyMetrix to help manage their exposures budgets and legal spend.

In addition to being the first legal e-billing provider with a fully functional solution in the UK, CT TyMetrix is the only vendor to successfully accept invoices formatted in Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard (LEDES) XML version 2.0 the de facto standard for global legal transactions. The first invoices, which were received from the UK law firms Wragge & Co LLP and Herbert Smith LLP, leveraged extended conversations with the UKs leading law firms about the correct method for handling the complexities of VAT and tax handling.

CT TyMetrix is proud to contribute to our clients success in the UK and abroad, said John Weber, general manager of CT TyMetrix. With the initial launch of CT TyMetrix 360, our locally-based team has demonstrated a deep understanding of the requirements of UK law departments. Of course, we are also extremely proud to have added to our long list of firsts in the legal technology space.

CT TyMetrix will continue to bring its subject matter expertise to UK corporate legal offices through an ongoing Thought Leader Seminar series. It has joined forces with fellow Wolters Kluwer companies Kluwer Law International and CT Summation to provide free, half-day seminars. The next seminar, to be held Feb. 5 at Londons One Aldwych hotel, will focus on best practices in legal spend management for corporate legal departments. Those interested to attend can register on the seminar series Web site, www.legalthoughtleaders.co.uk.
