In pursuit of claiming a stake in the emerging and ever-growing space carved out for legal technology, many companies are joining forces to buttress already impactful solutions and considerable market share. Abacus Data Systems, known for its ability to automate practice management capabilities into the legal operations workflow, is no stranger to this approach, and on May 17 announced its acquisition of Amicus Attorney.

“This is just the first of many steps that Abacus is taking to grow and really become a legal technology powerhouse in the industry,” Alessandra Lezama, CEO of Abacus, told Legaltech News. “With this transaction going forward, what we’re able to do is provide clients with a wide range of options for their practice.”
