"LexisNexis Legal & Professional has acquired legal research and litigation analytics firm Ravel Law, and will integrate Ravel's data visualization and profiling technology into LexisNexis services.

'Ravel Law will accelerate our vision of the data-driven lawyer of the future,' says Jeff Pfeifer, vice president of LexisNexis product management, in an interview after Thursday’s announcement. 'By leveraging these platforms, an attorney can get insights about a variety of problems, from judicial tendencies to arguments that are effective in a judge’s chambers.'
