Jackson Lewis is no stranger to addressing market realities. As early as 2014, the firm was planning to eliminate the billable hour, and while the effort didn’t entirely come to fruition, the Big Law player stopped requiring that its associates, as Bloomberg BNA put it, “meet a threshold of billable hours when they are judged at compensation and promotion time.”
Now, Jackson Lewis, which represents employers in workplace law, is launching its Data Analytics Group, which the firm is claiming will help its clients employ data science and technology to tasks like recruitment and determining costs of collective bargaining agreements. Comprised of statisticians and lawyers, the group, explained its national director Eric Felsberg, is “at the beginning of a revolution—the intersection of workplace law and data science.”
