Blank Rome Partners with Casetext to Accelerate Innovation Roadmap
Am Law 100 Firm Adopts Casetext’s AI-Based Legal Research Technology
SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 15, 2018 — Casetext today announces that Am Law 100 firm Blank Rome is deploying Casetext’s CARA A.I. technology across their firm nationally, adding another marquee international law firm to an expanding list.
“We are excited about this partnership with Casetext and the value it adds to our clients,” said Blank Rome Chief Information Officer Andrea J. Markstrom, who spearheads the firm’s national technology and innovation initiatives. “We have partnered very closely with Joseph Keslar, director of library and research services, along with the technology committee to evaluate artificial intelligence products, and Casetext’s CARA A.I. came out on top. With our intense focus on innovation and providing our litigators with first-rate technology, we expect CARA to give us a strong competitive advantage, ultimately resulting in superior outcomes for our clients.”
Casetext’s artificial intelligence technology, CARA A.I., uses natural-language technologies to automate key legal research tasks, arming lawyers with the highest quality research possible, ultimately allowing firms to spend time on higher-value, billable work — and avoid missing key precedents or decisions.
“We are proud to partner with Blank Rome who values delivering top tier client services through cutting edge technology and innovation,” said Casetext founder and CEO Jake Heller, a former litigation associate at Ropes & Gray and former clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals. “Our CARA A.I. technology will provide their attorneys the technology resources they need to deliver more efficient and effective legal research.”
With an ever-growing roster of recently announced partnerships, customers include leading law firms Quinn Emanuel, Fenwick & West, DLA Piper, Baker Donelson, Ogletree Deakins, O’Melveny and Myers, and Maynard Cooper, Casetext’s new partnership with Blank Rome is a testament to a larger law firm trend of adopting cutting-edge technologies that maximize efficiency and add value to client results.
Casetext was recently recognized by CB Insights as one of the most promising artificial intelligence companies of 2018 and earned the distinction of being the only legal research company to make the list. They were also featured on the Financial Times’ list of law firms and legal service providers commended for innovation in 2017. Casetext’s CARA AI technology was named New Product of the Year by the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), which recognized the innovative platform for improving access to legal information and the legal research process.
