Jackson Lewis P.C. issued the following announcement on Aug. 23.
Jackson Lewis P.C., one of the country’s preeminent workplace law firms, has received highest honors from the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) as its “Innovative Law Firm of the Year”. This annual award recognizes a firm which has delivered great business value and transformational impact through innovations and implementations within its organization.
Jackson Lewis was honored for its suite of technology solutions geared to augment delivery of its legal services, specifically workthruIT®, a web-based suite of tools that provides clients with legal and compliance information and assessments of potential legal risk.
"Client service and responsiveness are central tenets of our culture, and our digital solutions empower our attorneys by improving their efficiency, while our clients realize the significant benefits of potentially reduced legal spending, faster resolution and a host of self-service capabilities,” said Firm Chairman Vincent A. Cino. “The coveted Innovative Law Firm of the Year award from ILTA underscores our long-term commitment to transform the way legal services are delivered.”
Launched in April 2017, workthruIT® is an addition to the firm’s existing technology products at Jackson Lewis, which assist clients with legal issues, including advice and counsel, legal research, preventive measures, and trial preparation. workthruIT’s suite of tools are accessible on-demand 24 hours a day on both desktops and mobile devices to help employers, in-house counsel, human resource executives, and managers navigate different labor and employment scenarios, and empower them to make faster, more informed decisions.
workthruIT® also helps employers keep up and remain compliant with the different ways in which federal, state and local legislatures seek to resolve some of most difficult problems. It covers such topics as pay transparency laws, the ban on pre-offer salary history, sexual harassment training and investigations, minimum wage requirements, paid sick leave and disability and health management.
“We are committed to being trusted business advisors to our clients, helping them navigate changing legal and compliance environment, particularly as it relates to activity at the state and municipal level seeking to achieve greater equality and civil rights,” added Cino. “With workthruIT®, we will continue to help employers of all sizes do the right thing.”
