Legal analytics allows lawyers to be more efficient

Legal analytical software can cut a firm’s research time by 75 per cent, Toronto employment lawyer Stephen Moreau tells the Canadian Bar Association’s National magazine.

“Employment Foresight reduces the time it takes to make reports from four hours to one hour,” says Moreau, a partner with Cavalluzzo LLP. “It makes the practice more efficient and more accurate.”

Employment Foresight was developed by a Toronto-based software company that provides legal analytics services in employment and tax law, says the National.

The magazine says legal analytics does “the legal research ‘grunt work.’ The humans still have to review this computer-generated information to make their own decisions, but they don’t have to expend precious human hours compiling it.”
