We make data-driven decisions.
We believe in data-driven decision-making.
What does that mean? We analogize it to “evidence-based medicine”. The term “evidence-based medicine” emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s to describe an approach to medicine that bases guidelines and treatment decisions not just on anecdotal experiences, but also on the available empirical evidence. In the same way, we are committed to creating a culture of practicing “evidence-based litigation”. That means that we advocate for and advise clients based not just on our judgment and analysis of applicable case law, but also based on research and empirical data, where it is available.
In practice, this approach means three things:
- Harnessing available technology and products that make use of data analytics. As the legal technology industry develops, we will be on the front lines, harnessing technology that we believe can provide us with better insights to advise our clients.
- Remaining constantly engaged with pioneering empirical research on litigation and advocacy. Legal scholarship is increasingly relying on empirical legal research, and we remain connected to cutting-edge developments from leading legal scholars.
- Developing our own proprietary datasets and analytics. We have built and will continue to build our own databases—sometimes collaboratively with third parties, and sometimes by ourselves—that help us give clients the best advice possible based on real-world data.
We view these tools as important complements to conventional legal analysis that can help us provide more effective advice and advocacy to our clients.
The projects listed below are some of our current initiatives to collect and analyze empirical data. These are not our only data-driven projects; we also undertake bespoke data collection and analysis projects to be able to answer specific questions that our clients face. We are also working on additional projects that we will launch publicly soon.
