Since 1976, Rust Consulting, Inc. has used computer and communications technology to meet the requirements of courts, law firms, and government and corporate counsel. Founded by Ronald A. Rust, Esq., as The Rust Consulting Group, Inc., the Group was from the start a leader in applying computer technology to the practice of law. Using the most advanced computers and technology available, the Group coded millions of documents and built databases in more than 500 cases such as MCI v. AT&T, Westmoreland v. CBS, and the Chem-Dyne environmental case. In 1988, the Group used its legal knowledge and organizational and technical capabilities to begin a new segment of the business - claims administration for class action settlements and bankruptcy cases. The first case was the $45 million Chubb Drought Insurance Settlement. As the claims administration segment of the Group grew, it became a business of its own. In 1995, Rust Consulting, Inc., became a separate operating entity. In 1999, Rust Consulting joined SOURCECORP, Inc. Because of this depth of experience, both plaintiff and defense attorneys routinely consult with us early in the process, as cases are being litigated and negotiated. Our track record speaks for itself (see Why Rust Consulting and Practice Areas). Our structure and capabilities are built on that experience. In order to meet the specific needs of the legal community, we are: A special purpose organization, focused on class action settlements and other major legal projects Cost-effective, efficient administrators, with cost and time estimates known for their accuracy Flexible, with the ability to provide the same proficiency and attention to detail in every case, from smallest to largest Responsive to the needs of counsel, the Court and class members Neutral, making certain all parties are treated fairly In 2003, Rust Consulting has processing centers located in Minneapolis and Faribault, Minnesota, with over 870 call center stations where customer service representatives (CSRs) handle calls and other case team members process claims.
