Firm Analytics provides rankings of firms across key variables including practice area, case volume, venue experience, and motion win rates. These leaderboards allow comparisons across substantive performance metrics, a significant innovation to traditional revenue and size rankings.

Ravel Law Firm Analytics



Knowledge Management
Lewis indicated that one ALM 100 law firm  has integrated Ravel with documents from their DMS. This allows lawyers to simultaneously search both internal and external documents. They are now referring to this as a Knowledge Management Framework with they can develop as a custom solution for law firms.

Law Firms Love Rankings:
Ravel Co-Founder Daniel Lewis points out that success rates in litigation are probably the better measure of a law firm value rather than profits per partner.

Rankings of Firms by Case Volumes Since 2014
Ravel’s data is created by mining millions of federal and state cases, across 30+ practice areas and 400+ top US firms. These rankings are based on activity since 2014.

 Here is the Press Release

We’re excited to introduce Firm Analytics – a first of its kind platform for new competitive intelligence, performance-based firm rankings, and research into firms’ litigation activity.

With Firm Analytics, a firm’s cases are all in one place, with tracking, searchability, and analysis by practice area, court, judge, time
period, and motion. For example, an associate working on an employment law case can now quickly find the employment law cases their firm has handled previously, understand the motions involved and past win rates, and discover the arguments that worked best. Firm Analytics also provides a new Ravel framework for integrating with firms’ internal document management systems, making possible the combination of public and private material for an even more comprehensive and seamless research experience.

In another first, Firm Analytics also provides rankings of firms across key variables including practice area, case volume, venue
experience, and motion win rates. These leaderboards allow comparisons across substantive performance metrics, a significant innovation to traditional revenue and size rankings. As part of this launch, we are releasing rankings of the top five law firms across employment, securities, antitrust, administrative law, and bankruptcy (more below).

Firm Analytics was designed with our customers in mind, to help these firms win new clients, and win more business from existing clients. In addition, it offers in-house counsel unique new data and an unprecedented view into firms’ experience and performance. Its features include:

  • Understand a firm’s litigation history by case type,
    venue, motion win rate, and judge
  • Rank and compare firms by their case volume and motion
    win rate across 30+ practice areas and specific venues
  • Create custom comparisons and reports using an array of
    variables

Powered by our cutting-edge machine learning technology and exclusive caselaw collection from Harvard Law School, Firm Analytics is now our fourth major launch in the past year – following the highly successful introductions of Judge Analytics 2.0, Court Analytics, and Motion Analytics – and represents a new product offering that continues to expand beyond traditional research.

In developing Firm Analytics, we worked closely with our customers and Advisory Board, and we want to thank the members of that board: Jean O’Grady (DLA Piper), Steve Lastres (Debevoise), Marlene Gebauer (Greenberg Traurig), and Patricia Barbone (Hughes Hubbard). These leaders helped us understand the importance of great competitive intelligence and focused us on the highest value features and use cases.

Rankings of Firms by Case Volumes Since 2014
Ravel’s data is created by mining millions of federal and state cases, across 30+ practice areas and 400+ top US firms. These rankings are based on activity since 2014.
