In a strategic move designed to streamline the litigation workflow, Trellis has partnered with Fisher Phillips, a prominent labor and employment law firm. This partnership introduces AI-generated Case Strategy Reports directly into Fisher Phillips’ daily case alerts. The collaboration aims to furnish attorneys with enhanced, automated insights whenever their clients are named in state court proceedings.
Previously, Fisher Phillips relied on a different vendor for case alerts that primarily offered basic details, such as case numbers and jurisdictions. The introduction of Trellis’ AI-powered insights augments these alerts significantly. Leveraging Trellis’ extensive database, which spans 2.5 billion records from 3,500 courts across 46 states, the enriched reports offer a deeper level of analysis.
According to Evan Shenkman, Fisher Phillips’ Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer, “speed and strategy” are crucial for their clients’ success. By integrating these AI-driven insights, Fisher Phillips can offer immediate, strategic advantages to their clients, ensuring a proactive approach to litigation.
The Case Strategy Reports provide comprehensive insights into various aspects of a case, such as:
- Case details, procedural postures, and jurisdictional insights.
- Critical deadlines, including complaint timelines and statutes of limitations.
- Risk assessment and recommended actions, including potential defenses.
- Judicial tendencies and jury analysis using historical data.
- Discovery preparation, highlighting evidence gaps and strategic steps.
The preparation of these reports begins upon case filing, integrating seamlessly with Fisher Phillips’ existing alert system. As outlined by Alon Shwartz, COO and cofounder of Trellis, the value embedded in these alerts lies in offering actionable intelligence rather than just static data. The process is designed to be efficient, requiring minimal information from firms to run comprehensive analyses while preserving client confidentiality.
Beyond assisting in current cases, the reports can also be retrograde, enabling insights for cases filed in the past, thereby equipping newly assigned attorneys with rapid situational awareness. Additionally, there are “Case Assessments” tailored for clients, which present summarised narratives suitable for non-legal executives.
The integration of Trellis’ reports, as described by CEO Nicole Clark, empowers attorneys to harness structured insights from a vast repository of court cases, significantly enhancing their strategic position from the very beginning of litigation.
