Item 5.   Other Events.
-------   -------------

     On or about May 25, 1999, Boron, LePore & Associates, Inc. (the "Company")
was served with a putative class action complaint captioned Lynne H. Sinay, et
                                                            ------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
99-CV-2231-DRD.  The Class Action Complaint, which was filed in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that the Company,
certain of its officers and directors, and certain institutional stockholders
violated the federal securities laws by making material misrepresentations and
omissions in certain public disclosures during the period May 5, 1998 through
May 5, 1999.  The public disclosures related to, among other things, the
secondary offering made by the Company in May 1998, the Company's acquisition of
Decision Point, Inc. in January 1998, the termination of the Company's
relationship with Glaxo-Wellcome, and the impact of various events on the
Company's earnings.

     The Company is currently reviewing the allegations made in the Class Action
Complaint and intends to defend the claims vigorously.  The Company believes
that the defense of the claims could involve significant litigation-related
expenses.
