CIVC Partners has acquired a stake in Nationwide Legal, a Los Angeles-based litigation support services provider serving law firms. The private equity firm's investment targets a company specializing in essential court-related functions including service of process, court filing, and subpoena services.

Founded in 2007, Nationwide Legal has built a business around handling time-sensitive legal documentation requirements that attorneys and law firms outsource rather than manage internally. Chief executive Tony Davoodi leads the firm, which also provides court reporting services to its client base.

The legal services market continues attracting private equity interest as firms seek operational efficiency and specialized providers emerge to handle specific practice areas. Litigation support represents a growing niche market as law firms increasingly outsource non-core functions to focus on legal expertise.

Financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed, making it difficult to assess the valuation or scale of CIVC's commitment. However, the deal signals continued confidence in the legal services sector's consolidation potential and recurring revenue model.
