Andrew Arruda of ROSS Intelligence: "We Want to Assist Every Lawyer in the World"

After graduating with a law degree from the University of Saskatchewan, Andrew identified a problem amid the legal hierarchy – by experiencing it first-hand. "I worked at a small law firm to pay my way through university and law school. When I started out I did a lot of the grunt work that senior lawyers don't do. Legal research takes about 30% of a lawyer's time. Currently legal research works by inputting keywords to search a massive databases of cases – you type in a query and get thousands of results, which a lawyer has to trawl through to pick out key meanings. I was doing that, and I can tell you that it's a mess and takes a long time".
