Mercury ELM's answer

Mercury ELM was developed by LSG to address the fragmented way organisations manage litigation, claims, outside counsel and legal expenditure. Legal and claims teams often rely on separate systems, spreadsheets, emails and manual processes to manage matters, approve budgets, review invoices and evaluate law firm performance.

Mercury brings these activities together within one enterprise legal management platform. It enables organisations to digitise legal workflows, centralise matter and claims information, improve visibility into legal spend and make more informed decisions using performance and financial data.

The platform reflects LSG’s experience working with insurance carriers, third-party administrators, corporate legal teams and law firms.
