Vizlegal


Vizlegal is a platform that provides lawyers and legal professionals access to verified legal information with court decisions and case tracking. It contains over 4.7 million decisions and cases from Irish, UK and US judicial bodies.

History

Vizlegal was founded by Gavin Sheridan and José Alberto Suárez López in 2015 to provide verified legal information for legal professionals. The platform is known for its user-centered approach and advanced built-in features for searching within legal cases. The company was self-funded, with the addition of being part of an accelerator program in Dublin, Ireland, called NDRC.
In November 2019, Vizlegal announced that it is available to the Bar of Ireland, providing its search and tracking tools to all 2,200 members and staff. In 2020, the company received funding from the EU's Horizon 2020 program.
The company participates in lawyer events, such as Legal Tech Conference, Legal Tech and the Rule of Law, and received the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians Supplier of the Year Award in 2023.
