To clients, suppliers, and other partners of MMR Strategy Group:
This coming June will mark 20 years since I joined what is now MMR Strategy Group. The time has flown by.
This has been the best job I have ever had, but calling what I do a “job” is woefully insufficient. This has been a calling as much as it has been a career.
I’m proud to count our clients, staff, and research partners as colleagues, friends and teachers. Over the years, it has been an honor to work with smart and committed clients on high-stakes projects.
I’ve also enjoyed working with my colleagues at MMR, accomplished people who are dedicated to their work, yet somehow find the time and energy to lead interesting personal lives. MMR’s current roster consists of the best group of people I’ve ever worked with, and we all rely on a trusted group of research partners who make our work possible.
MMR has grown and developed in ways that far exceed what I hoped for or even imagined when I started here. The next chapter in MMR’s growth story will be even more exciting. I’m pleased to announce that in April, 2025, MMR merged with IMS Legal Strategies.
We joined with IMS in part because IMS operates by certain principles that they refer to as Core Values. Among these Core Values are “Quality & Excellence” and “Honor the Relationship.” These and other Core Values reflect the same attitude that has guided MMR’s approach to our engagements over the years.
In the immediate future, most of what we do will stay the same. All MMR staff have joined IMS as part of the merger. Clients will continue to work with the same MMR staff, in the same manner, with the same quality standards, at the same billing rates. I’m still here as well, at the same desk, in the same job, with the same commitment.
To reiterate, this transaction will not create any changes in staffing, deliverables, or billing rates. If you want your relationship with MMR to stay the same, then it will.
Over time, MMR will benefit from the expert witness referral operations at IMS. IMS offers us new and interesting opportunities, and will help us streamline back office functions such as timekeeping, billing and human resources. IMS will also support MMR as we offer a wider range of services to our clients and grow our roster of testifying experts, marketing consultants, and experienced support staff.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me, to your contacts at MMR, or to Cheryl Jaffe.
I’m excited about this change, and hope you are too. Thank you for your trust, collaboration, and support over the past two decades. I’m grateful and proud for what we have built together, and looking forward to the next step in this wonderful and amazing journey.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruce Isaacson
