Litigation analytics

Statistical evidence for cases too small for a labor economist and too important to guess.

Fixed-price analytical reports for litigators: what courts have actually awarded in cases like yours, where your facts sit in that record, and what the other side's expert will say about it.

Reports for counsel

Contingency-fee and mid-market litigators rarely have a statistician on call. Testifying economists start at $500 an hour and decline six-figure cases. NorthLaw fills that gap with fixed prices and a five-day turnaround.

Plain about limits.

Every model is validated on decisions it never saw, audited for data leakage, and documented. Each report states what the data can and cannot say, so it survives the other side's expert. Ask for the validation results before you engage: Methods.
