Acquisition of Global Justice Solutions

WDScott announced today the acquisition of Global Justice Solutions (GJS), a specialist law and justice international project and program management firm based in London, Sydney and Perth. This acquisition will take the WDScott projected 2009 revenue to more than $35m with a combined staff in the order of 150 people, and extends the firm’s project management capability with a law and justice specialisation, particularly in a developing country context. GJS has more than $50m of forward sold contracts mainly with OECD donor countries and international banks such as World Bank and the Asia Development Bank.

The Group Managing Director Dr Stephen Moss welcomed the whole GJS team to the WDScott family, and particularly welcomed Glenn Crannage, the GJS CEO, to the WDScott Executive team. “GJS will bring WDScott a further complimentary project management capability, a wider international footprint and a balance with stable government backed contracts going out to 2011 and a robust pipeline of international work in these obviously turbulent economic times.”

Glenn Crannage said “The integration of GJS with WDScott provides a fantastic opportunity to extend the recognition of Global Justice Solutions as a key ‘go to’ point for law and justice consulting services on the international stage. Leveraging WDScott’s core offerings in project management, executive recruitment and development and high-tech solutions will also mean a broader suite of integrated solutions for existing and new clients”.

The acquisition was unanimously supported by the GJS management team and all GJS directors and staff came across to WDScott. GJS will trade as Global Justice Solutions, a WDScott group company.
