Hong Kong's first LegalTech start-up leveraging Natural Language Processing to perform data extraction and judgment prediction for personal injury cases. Incubated at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks and the HKAI Lab.
We aim to create a legal research system that is accessible and hassle-free. We envisioned it as streamlined as possible while maintaining a function set on par with, if not better than, the existing alternatives — which meant completely rethinking how legal research works.
We built a database of personal injury judgments with all key information labelled. In particular we identified "key factors" — the information that affects the assessment of damages: location and nature of injury, occupation, the existence of residual pain. We then trained our model on those labelled judgments.
Key facts are displayed directly on the results page, with the filters being the key factors we identified, so users can accurately estimate damages. The system was co-created with lawyers and non-profits.
Litex changed the dispute resolution process — instead of blindly accepting an offer, an injured worker can see what comparable cases actually settled for, and bargain from evidence.
Adopting an inter-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary approach, her article seeks to dissect the success formula behind the growth of legaltech hubs in the U.S., China and Singapore before proposing a legaltech hub development model suitable for Hong Kong.Read more →
