Use cases

A sample of real-life applications possible through the power of vLex APIs.

• Knowledge management

  Organise, search and transform documents to your firm’s needs. vLex's Iceberg application can help you to identify data in documents, such as names, citations, and much more. These can be removed or transformed, and files can be exported into desired formats ready to be used by your staff or clients. Iceberg can also use built-in quality and novelty models to ensure the correct information is organised and presented in the right way for your firm.

• Privacy, data and confidentiality

  In a world concerned with privacy, data and confidentiality, it is important to quickly identify sensitive data in large volumes of documents. Iceberg is equipped in identifying keywords, phrases, names, and citations to then be processed, removed or linked to internal or external documents. Iceberg can standardise file types, and send them on to different departments and individuals for review.

• Litigation and risk management

  Create prediction models to understand the likelihood of winning an upcoming court case using your internal data with Iceberg. Review the financial impact of case outcomes, and identify experts within your firm by analysing their legal knowledge through documents to ensure you have the right people working on each case and client project.

• Regulation flow

  Keep on top of changes to the law around the world and keep your global workforce up to date with these changes. Iceberg can connect your team and data with the most recent regulations and precedents, extracting the key information from legal documents and sending this directly to specific staff to ensure you can act quickly.

• Emerging markets and trends

  Connect your documents and internal data, such as your billing hours, to understand the emerging trends from customer needs, how your staff are investing their time, and identify gaps and opportunities to expand your business into new areas. Iceberg can also identify staff who could benefit from training or working with others in your firm to improve areas of your clients’ work.

• Investigation and due diligence

  Create tools to search and keep your teams up to date on individuals, organisations and changes in the law by using data from your own internal and external sources, such as vLex’s vast collection of case law and legal documents.

• Fastcase Primary Law

  Leverage Fastcase’s data to bolster your firm's research and analytics projects. Filter information to retrieve information using library types such as statutes or regulations, and keywords such as "COVID-19" or "Class Action".

• Data Feeds

  Raw data feeds delivered in a variety of formats to meet your requirements including JSON, XML, LDML, and more.

• Public Linking

  Fastcase’s unique Public Linking feature allows direct access to any document in Fastcase, even without an active Fastcase subscription. You can even personalize public links with your branding or specify documents with Boolean search queries.
