Leverage Your Data for Better Litigation Outcomes
Enhancing ‘Gut Checks’ with Data Analytics
The need for in-house legal departments to adopt and use data analytics has never been more urgent. Leveraging data to improve settlement offers and litigation strategy, results in significant savings.
Why is Data Analytics + AI Valuable for Legal Departments?
Provides visibility and insights
Creates actionable intelligence to aid improved analytics
Legal departments using Analytics + AI exhibit higher quality work, reduced litigation costs, and lower spending
Data analytics helps legal departments effectively communicate to their business teams with higher levels of accuracy
Predictive analytics helps lawyers make educated guesses including how long a case will take to reach a decision, or what a case may settle for at various stages of litigation.
Although opportunities to automate present themselves to GCs, and the intent to implement automation is apparent, most legal departments simply do not have the staff for legal analytics.
Just 1 in 5 GCs report having a technology or innovation counsel, or access to a data analyst.
