Through the use of its patent-pending technologies of intelligent summarization and qualitative search, NLP Technologies is now providing primary-source legal information to judges, lawyers, educators and other professionals in a timely and comprehensive manner. By focusing on specific areas of law such as Immigration, Intellectual Property, and Taxation, NLP supplies easy access to case law through weekly bulletins, and specially-adapted search solutions, as well as government statistics, and a virtual library of provincial and federal legislation, international instruments, manuals, forms etc. NLP’s platform for presentation of these materials is unique and user-friendly.
NLP Technologies constantly strives to improve its products and explore new ways to make the practice of law easier. For example, in partnership with the University of Montreal, NLP Technologies has just received a grant from PRECARN to develop a new technology-the automatic translation of court decisions, which will allow all legal professionals across the country the same access to case law without delay.
