Introducing LiSA (Legal intelligent Spend Analyst)
Legal Decoder is launching LiSA (Legal intelligent Spend Analyst), a groundbreaking GenAI-powered personal data analyst that revolutionizes how corporate legal departments and law firms interact with their billing data.
Built on DataGPT technology, LiSA represents a significant advancement in legal spend intelligence, enabling users to have natural language conversations with their data and receive actionable insights in seconds rather than days.
"Our clients have always relied on Legal Decoder for visibility into billing behavior, staffing efficiency, and outside counsel guideline compliance," said Joseph Tiano, Founder and CEO of Legal Decoder. "With LiSA, we're not just providing dashboards anymore—we're delivering an AI-powered analyst who understands legal operations and can instantly surface insights that clients can trust and act on immediately."
LiSA analyzes any changes to legal invoice data each day
Meeting Evolving Client Needs
As legal departments have become increasingly data-savvy, their questions have grown more complex and urgent. LiSA directly addresses these challenges by allowing users to interact conversationally with their data to:
Identify problematic invoices with simple queries like "Which invoices are ready to go this month and which ones have issues to address?"
Examine line-by-line inefficiencies by asking "What are the problems with invoice #1234?"
Create data-driven matter budgets based on similar historical matters
Filter invoice data by client industry segments for more accurate pricing estimates
Beyond Basic AI: Understanding Legal Context
What sets LiSA apart is its deep understanding of legal operations’ context. When examining an invoice, LiSA doesn't just flag issues—it explains why they're problematic, whether due to excessive hours, inefficient staffing, or billing guideline violations. "Other tools show you what happened. LiSA helps you understand why and what to do about it," noted Tiano. "This represents the next evolution in legal spend analytics—moving from static reports to dynamic, conversational intelligence."
Real-World Impact: From Days to Seconds
A typical legal operations scenario demonstrates LiSA's transformative potential: To get a breakdown of tasks performed by senior attorneys and junior attorneys, users can simply ask LiSA: "How were tasks distributed between senior attorneys vs junior attorneys in 2024?"
LiSA instantly returns a breakdown of tasks, total hours, and total amount. This gives the users insights into invoice data to help craft budgets or price services.
