IMS CHARTS ITS STRATEGIC COURSE, ADDING PORTLAND AND SEATTLE TO ITS EXPANSIVE FOOTPRINT
PENSACOLA, FLA | IMS, the award-winning consultative trial and expert services firm, announced today that it acquired nationally recognized trial consulting firm Tsongas Litigation Consulting. The acquisition increases the depth of IMS’s service lines, as well as its coast-to-coast network in the United States, to benefit clients.
As the only fully integrated trial services team in the industry, IMS is the leading provider of high-stakes litigation services across the full lifecycle of the litigation process.

“Today, we kick off a bright new chapter. The joining of IMS and Tsongas is a compelling combination of complementary strengths, common values, and outstanding people — our most important assets. I'm eager to see the full extent of value we will create together from our growing footprint of locations, which makes IMS increasingly well-positioned to deliver superior service to our Am Law and boutique firms and corporate clients,” said IMS Chief Executive Officer James Crane.
The IMS physical footprint now includes Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Oakland, Pensacola, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, and Seattle. In addition, IMS has locations in the United Kingdom to offer its services worldwide.
