Law firm partnership bolsters services

HFW’s development partnership with litigation analytics start-up Solomonic will enable it to access the Solomonic system, which uses detailed court data to enhance predictions, optimise case research and improve outcomes. Solomonic will be able to utilise HFW’s commercial litigation expertise to help develop its platform and data analysis, and to expand its system into new modules and jurisdictions.

Noel Campbell, head of HFW litigation, said: “Combining Solomonic’s data with our experience and expertise as litigators will allow us to be more efficient and effective as lawyers, and ultimately enable our clients to make more informed, commercial decisions about resolving their disputes.”

Gideon Cohen, co-founder of Solomonic, said: “HFW is the ideal firm to help us develop Solomonic. It is not just HFW’s enviable litigation volume and record of success; the firm’s significant global reach, with leading practices in key disputes jurisdictions around the world, will also be invaluable in helping us expand our offering internationally.”

HFW recently announced a GB£25m portfolio litigation funding deal with UK-based litigation and dispute funding institution Augusta Ventures.
