Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Companies and Products Driving Innovation in the Global Legal Industry 

NEW YORK, November 20, 2024 – Checkbox, the leading platform for legal intake and workflow automation used by companies such as SAP, PepsiCo and Invisalign, has been named the winner of “Overall Legal Analytics Innovation of the Year” in the 5^th annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. The award, conducted by the esteemed market intelligence firm LegalTech Breakthrough, honors Checkbox’s groundbreaking approach to providing General Counsels and legal leaders with a single source of truth over all legal work to enable data-driven insights and streamline workflows. 

Checkbox’s platform is the first of its kind in the legal tech market to integrate AI-powered intake and triage, offering legal teams a unified, real-time view of their operations. Designed to consolidate all legal data into one platform, Checkbox ensures that legal departments have a single source of truth for all activities — from intake to reporting — providing unprecedented transparency and efficiency across legal workflows. 

“Modern GCs need to speak the language of their business peers and run the legal department strategically rather than reactively. To do this, GCs need to be data-driven and have visibility across all legal work to support decisions and resourcing. But whilst the output may be a fancy dashboard and metrics, the data problem often originates with the quality of legal intake. Dashboards and metrics are meaningless if you are not capturing the right data or the complete data to begin with. That is why the best solutions solve both intake and reporting together,” said Evan Wong, CEO and Co-Founder at Checkbox. “We’re very grateful for receiving this award and being recognized for our unique approach in meeting the business where they work. If we can create little to no change management whilst giving the GC the data and visibility needed, then we’ve done a great job.”  

With so many different places and ways of working, it’s historically been difficult to get a handle on what’s happening in legal, especially with the majority of legal work existing as unstructured data. Generative AI changes the game by turning this unstructured information into structured, actionable insights. Checkbox’s AI-powered intake and matter management makes it possible for General Counsels to consolidate and manage all legal work in one place, creating a single source of truth. This newfound visibility empowers legal teams to shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive strategy and from cost center to business enabler. 

Checkbox’s capabilities drive this transformation through: 

• AI-Powered Intake & Triage: Automatically creating, assigning and updating matters from anywhere like unstructured DMs, global Slack channels, email and chatbots. 

• Matter Management: Enabling a centralized view of all matters, details and statuses. 

• Workflow Automation: Streamlining manual processes and providing self-service for repetitive FAQs and requests. 

• Reporting and Dashboards: Capturing the full story of legal and providing a single source of truth across all work from intake to reporting. 

The mission of the annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the legal technology industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 12 different countries around the world. 

“Checkbox’s proactive use of analytics enhances operational effectiveness and positions legal departments as a key contributor to business growth. The ability to analyze and understand metrics allows legal departments to optimize performance and enhance their role within the organization. However, navigating multiple systems and conducting ineffective and time-consuming one-on-one meetings is inefficient,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director at LegalTech Breakthrough. “Through comprehensive data visibility, real-time insights and user-friendly reporting tools, Checkbox equips legal teams with the information and capabilities they need to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment. We’re proud to award Checkbox with ‘Overall Legal Analytics Innovation of the Year!’”
