And we are Solomonic. Solomonic’s tag line is ‘don’t just predict outcomes, improve them’.

Our product makes would be litigant’s wiser.
James Gibbs
Chief Technology Officer
We started the business as we found through insight that litigation individuals were not really using data to back-up their decisions.

Traditionally lawyers have founded their decisions on instinct and experience and what we do is ground those decisions in solid data.
James Gibbs
Chief Technology Officer
You always have a starting point when you are starting your legal research and we are going to give you the means to discover and filter down to the underlying data whether it’s an expert, a party, a law firm or indeed a judge. The one that I would like to drill down on further today is experts. What is that expert all about? What kind of thing do they like to give evidence on? Which kind of judge’s like them, which don’t? So we think this is a layer of value that doesn’t exist right now and hopefully is very, very powerful.

Solomonic have had a really interesting time in the LAB because they joined us at a point where they had a product for market and had paying users. One of the things that Solomonic has seen is that the LAB is the best place to test your assumptions on a product.
James Gibbs
Chief Technology Officer
Without the LAB we wouldn’t have access to half as many users as we do and indeed their honest feedback which is very much appreciated.
Katasi Koronde
Content Manager
The insight that you receive is almost instantaneous and so one can respond and modify ones product quite quickly.
James Gibbs
Chief Technology Officer
Having access to the litigants and fee earners that exist within MDR has been incredibly useful. It has helped us craft our product into something that we think over the next six months we are able to produce in a much more valuable and tailored way.
