ASX Announcement

Acquisition of Legal Practice

The Board of Integrated Legal Holdings Limited (ASX: IAW) (Integrated) is pleased to
announce that an agreement has been executed to acquire the legal practice of Shayne
Leslie.
This marks the Integrated groups second acquisition of a legal practice since listing on
17th August 2007.
This new acquisition will be merged into the existing practice of Integrated's wholly owned
subsidiary Talbot Olivier. This acquisition promotes the Integrated business strategy
which encourages acquired practices to enhance their own growth aspirations via the
acquisition of complementary practices.
It is expected that the acquisition of Mr Leslies practice will generate revenues in excess
of $3m and EBIT in excess of $1.3m over a three year period.
The consideration for the purchase is a combination of cash and shares. The cash
component will be funded from group working capital. The share component is payable
progressively over three years, subject to performance criteria being met.

Walsh, which later merged to become Lavan Solomon and then Phillips Fox. Mr Leslie
worked in the commercial litigation/dispute resolution division of Phillips Fox for 14 years;
nine years as a partner. He joined Wilson & Atkinson in May 1997 and was appointed
partner in 1999 heading the Commercial Litigation Division. On 30 June 2007 Mr Leslie
left the Wilson & Atkinson partnership, while retaining the commercial litigation client base
of Wilson & Atkinson. Mr Leslie has worked as a consultant at Talbot Olivier since 1 July
2007.
