Put away the guesswork—Lexis® Verdict & Settlement Analyzer helps legal professionals assess case potential with confidence by using data-driven insights from the industry’s largest collection of verdicts and settlements. With over 1.6M verdict and settlement records, the tool turns raw data into clear visualizations that reveal award ranges, outcome trends, and case patterns.
Interactive graphs and over 15 filters instantly show how similar cases have been resolved so you can determine the best strategic path for your client, and you can determine whether it makes financial sense to take a case, pursue settlement, or move forward with trial.
Legal analytics applies the principles of data science to the practice of law. By analyzing large sets of verdicts, settlements, and case outcomes, you can identify patterns that were once hidden in text. These insights help estimate potential award values, understand resolution likelihood, and anticipate risk with greater accuracy.
Legal analytics has become an essential part of the day-to-day legal practice, allowing attorneys to combine experience with evidence-based intelligence. The result is better advice, more transparent communication, and decisions that serve the client’s best interest every time.
