Can Data Be Your Litigation Edge?

Late last year, I wrote a post about legal tech trends to watch during 2016. Thank goodness my post included artificial intelligence, because, these days, if your product doesn’t include the words “artificial intelligence” or “machine learning,” you might as well not be selling. But, one of the other trends I mentioned (and boy, am I glad I did) was legal analytics. And in case you didn’t click on the link above, here is the significant quote:
Although the fact that numbers were not disclosed in Lexis Nexis’s purchase of legal analytics company Lex Machina, the acquisition itself is significant.

What I assumed at the time, and what I learned when I spoke to Lex Machina’s Owen Byrd at the Legaltech Show in February, was that the company was planning on scaling its business from analytics for IP litigation to other areas of litigation as well. So I was not surprised when the company recently announced that it is now expanding its offering into securities litigation.
