Fisher Phillips partners with legaltech startup Blue J Legal

Labor and employment law firm Fisher Phillips has partnered with AI-backed legal predictions company Blue J Legal to apply predictive technology to employment litigation in the US.

Founded in 2015, Toronto-based Blue J has raised $9 million since its inception and offers an AI-powered technology platform that predicts labor and employment case outcomes based on fact patterns as well as relevant precedent. Its proprietary technology predicts outcomes with 90% accuracy, and Fisher Phillips will use this information as a tool in planning litigation strategies in defense of employers facing lawsuits.

For companies, Blue J Legal’s “Starter” pricing starts at $199/user/month paid annually.

“Blue J’s technology has a proven track record of predicting judicial outcomes in employment matters in Canada by applying AI to the facts at issue in each case, and I am eager to join in an exclusive partnership to bring this revolutionary technology to the US. Applying this tool to our clients’ factual scenarios will result in even greater accuracy, greater predictability, and greater attorney efficiency, at a time when accuracy and cost-consciousness are paramount.” – Evan Shenkman, Fisher Phillips’ Senior Director of Knowledge Management.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Fisher Phillips. We see this as the start of a long and prolific relationship. The partnership combines the deep and proven expertise of the Fisher Phillips team and Blue J’s proprietary predictive methodology. This marks an important step forward to our mission of bringing absolute clarity to the law.” – Benjamin Alarie, Blue J’s co-founder and CEO.

We are excited to work with the Blue J team to bring their already strong Canadian product to the United States.” – Roger Quillen Chairman and Managing Partner of Fisher Phillips.
