LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2017) - Advanced Discovery, a leading global eDiscovery and litigation support provider, today announced that legal industry veteran Julia Chain has joined the company as the managing director of the UK Millnet office and a member of the Advanced Discovery corporate executive team as executive vice president, International. Millnet, the largest UK-based eDiscovery and legal document services firm, was acquired by Advanced Discovery in 2016. As part of this transition, James Moeskops is relocating to Australia as the managing director, Asia/Pacific, in support of the company's global business development expansion.
Chain comes to Advanced Discovery with 25 years' experience in the legal industry.

Prior to these roles, Chain was a managing partner at Anderson Legal, general counsel and board member at T-Mobile UK and worked at Shearman & Sterling in New York, and Herbert Smith in London specialising in corporate law.
