Described as the Oscars of legal innovation, the American Legal Technology Awards annually recognize pioneers in legal technology, honoring individuals, companies, and products that advance and modernize the legal industry.
The award recognized the impact of several of BigHand’s innovative products, including BigHand Resource Management, BigHand Matter Pricing, and BigHand Impact Analytics. With features such as real-time visibility of team skillsets, availability and costs, AI-enabled timecard analysis, and matter budget tracking, BigHand’s solutions enable firms to make informed decisions that drive efficiency, enhance client service, and support their growth objectives.
Tom Martin, co-founder of the American Legal Technology Awards, emphasized the significance of BigHand's win, stating, "BigHand made bold statements about the product’s use of AI to help law firms manage profitability, enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and optimize resource allocation, and BigHand included metrics, customer quotes, and specific examples as evidence of the product’s success."
BigHand CEO Sam Toulson also commented on the achievement: “Winning this award is a testament to BigHand’s dedication to developing innovative solutions that empower law firms to meet the challenges of today’s legal landscape. We are incredibly proud to be recognized for our efforts.”
