Financial Times – Legal Services Start-ups Target Lawyers’ Paperwork

Financial Times “Lawtech” Litigation


How much more efficient would it be, then, for an investor who has lost out because of fraud to have a computer program that does all the work: analysing their portfolio, tracking any related legal cases and providing a list of law firms investigating or pursuing litigation.

That, put simply, is the aim of Battea Class Action Services, a US company that has filed a patent for a program that scours companies’ securities investments to spot losses resulting from false disclosure, manipulation or other forms of fraud.

The program, say its creators, will assess if those losses are actionable, find pending or active cases, and identify law firms investigating or pursuing related litigation.
