LexisNexis: Putting experts in context

LexisNexis has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) product to help lawyers speedily identify the right expert.

Context Expert Analytics uses AI to comb through more than 600,000 cases, providing instant access to a list of experts with analytics and statistics on the outcome, information on the hiring party, number of cases per year and total number of cases.

Leona Blanco, knowledge manager at Clyde & Co, said: ‘Context Expert Analytics is the perfect tool for quite a few of our practice area teams.

‘It helps them to identify the relevant expert for the successful outcome of their cases. It provides instant and timely data showcasing live links to cases in which experts appeared, allowing our lawyers to assess the expert and their treatment by the courts.’

LexisNexis director of solutions, Dani McCormick, said clients ‘love how easily they can find new experts and, in particular, how simple it is to validate their expertise and understand how they performed under pressure in court’.
