Legal services provider UnitedLex has acquired Paul Hastings’ data analytics team, in what the firm has described as a “first-of-its-kind” deal. 

The acquisition will see the data science, analytics and investigations (DSAI) team join UnitedLex, with the team continuing to work with Paul Hastings on advisory matters as a third-party provider. The relationship will not be exclusive, according to a spokesperson: The team is set to work with other law firms, too.
