What does it mean to practice
data-driven law? On this episode, Bob speaks with Jeff Pfeifer, the
LexisNexis vice president charged with driving overall product
strategy for LexisNexis Legal and Professional, North America. Over
the past several years, Pfeifer has spearheaded a series of
acquisitions and product developments, all with the goal of
establishing LexisNexis as the leader in legal analytics and
enabling what he calls data-driven law.
Pfeifer oversaw the company’s 2016 acquisitions
of legal analytics companies Lex Machina and Intelligize and the
2017 acquisition of Ravel Law. Most recently, Pfeifer led the
roll-out of Lexis Analytics, a suite of tools that organizes all of
LexisNexis’s major analytics acquisitions and products (as well as
a couple new products) into three categories of analytics –
litigation, regulatory and transactional. Bob talks with Jeff about
these acquisitions, the launch of Lexis Analytics, and his vision
of the data-driven lawyer.
Pfeifer is a 29-year veteran of LexisNexis.
Before taking on his current role in 2015 as vice president of
product management, he was vice president, primary law and
Shepard’s, and president and CEO of LexisNexis Puerto Rico.
Earlier, he was vice president of marketing. He was recognized this
year as among the Fastcase 50, honoring the “smartest, most
courageous innovators, techies, visionaries, and leaders in the
law.”
