We want Casetext to be judged on its merits. Legaltech Hub levels the playing field, allowing attorneys and executives to objectively evaluate what we do.

At the Digital Legal Exchange, we work with the legal functions of some of the world's leading corporations to help them accelerate their digital transformation. Technology is a critical part of the toolkit. Legaltech Hub provides independent guidance and information to help corporate legal teams evaluate their options and inform their purchase decisions.

My Reed Smith colleagues and I have used Legaltech Hub to identify current providers of technology solutions. It is really helpful to view all the tools in one place, consistently categorised by solution type and key features.

Our involvement with LegalTech Hub has given us many leads and created speaking opportunities. The value of LTH goes way beyond a listing and leverages Nikki’s and Jeroen’s vast network.

A decade ago, it was reasonably easy to keep on top of what legaltech products were out there. No longer! Nikki, Jeroen, and team have built a comprehensive resource that legaltech buyers can use to find tech meeting their needs, and where vendors can get information in front of prospects at the relevant moment. Worthwhile offering from a respected (and excellent) group of people!

Fireman &amp; Company's clients expect us to be current on the latest innovative technology solutions. It used to be difficult to navigate the legaltech market and explore new tools and platforms. Legaltech Hub changed that - I now have one place to go where I can easily find all the information I need.

The legal tech industry is moving at such a fast pace and a big part of my job is to stay on top of it all. Legaltech Hub is my go-to resource for any research I need to do on new companies and products.

Document automation software helps a lawyer draft documents faster and more consistently. There are two types: 1. Q&amp;A based where a user answers a series of questions (e.g., when drafting an employment agreement: name of employee, salary, non-compete yes or no and if yes for how long, place of work etc.) and the system inserts the answers into a template creating a complete document ready for signature. The industry standards for this are Contract Express and Hotdocs. Successful new entrants in the space include Avokka and Clarilis. 2. Clause-based document assembly: by selecting clauses, the user builds a document to their needs. Clausebase and Draftwise are examples.

Document Automation

Case law research tools allow users to find caselaw to support legal arguments, suggest caselaw in opposition of an argument, and verify whether case law is still valid. Users can search various databases (often jurisdiction based) to find case law that supports or contradicts a legal argument. Many research databases include tools to verify whether a case is still good law or is overturned.Some providers have introduced solutions underpinned by sophisticated technology, such as AI or analytics. Incumbent providers in the USA and UK are Westlaw and LexisNexis, with Bloomberg making up the third large player in the US. In jurisdictions such as continental Europe, Wolters Kluwer is another leader. This category, due to the jurisdictional nature of legal research, varies significantly by region. In the USA, new entrants to the market include Fastcase and Casetext.

Caselaw Research

As the artifical intelligence technology used in the legal industry has matured, solutions have evolved that help lawyers draft briefs and motions by suggesting arguments and authority based on the algorithm's conceptual understanding of the facts of a case. As a lawyer begins to draft, these tools suggest relevant authority so that time spent searching for caselaw and relevant statute provisions is minimized. Casetext's Compose is the best known of these solutions.

Brief Drafting

Documents are central to a lawyer's work. There are many types of document-related applications that support lawyers, including document automation, drafting tools that ensure consistency of citation, expression, or tables of contents, comparison software to compare versions of documents, and many others. This category includes a number of long established companies like Hotdocs but also companies (like Litera) that are consolidating the market in certain segments. Legaltech Hub has included eSignatures in this category as well as Document Management.

Online legal research solutions have evolved in sophistication, with many now including analytics capabilities and utilizing artificial intelligence to improve results and relevancy. In addition to the longstanding major players such as LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg, the market for online research tools is now crowded with additional practice area- and market-specific solutions that provide more targeted intelligence. As these resources are necessarily limited by jurisdictional relevancy, each region requires its own solutions. Legaltech Hub currently only covers the following regions: US, UK, Canada, Australia. Over time, this content will be built out to cover additional regions.

Legal Research

As a result of the entrenched nature of eDiscovery, litigation is an area of law in which a large number of technology vendors operate. The field of eDiscovery continues to evolve, with ever more sophisticated tools providing forensics solutions and data analytics capabilities. The acquisition by Reveal of Brainspace and NexLP is a good example of an evolving vendor, though Relativity, Exterro, Integreon, AccessData, Everlaw and many others have also developed data products. End-to-end case management systems have now adapted to provide capabilities that support other aspects of litigation practice, including chronology development, transcript management, exhibit management and trial preparation. Major players such as Opus 2 and Litera Litigate allow for integrations with eDiscovery vendors and the import of tagged hot documents into the case management system. During the pandemic, virtual court work has become necessary, giving rise to the development of platforms such as Armatus and DepoDirect for remote depositions and trials. In addition to these categories, many other point solutions have developed to support various aspects of litigation practice.
