What Leopard Solutions does

Leopard Solutions (now operating as SurePoint Legal Insights) is a SaaS legal market intelligence platform founded in 2002 in New York by Laura Leopard. The company maintains a proprietary database covering 400,000+ attorneys across 6,000+ law firms, 11,000+ companies, and approximately 86,000 in-house attorneys, with data refreshed twice weekly. Its product portfolio comprises six core offerings - Leopard BI (business intelligence and predictive analytics), Leopard PROWESS (outside counsel panel management), The Leopard List (attorney database), Leopard Job Search (real-time job tracking), Firmscape (competitive intelligence), and Leopard InHouse (corporate counsel directory) - augmented by sub-products including the Connection Report Suite, Leopard Law Firm Index (LLFI), AI Navigator, Practice Group Acquisition Tool, M&A Tool, ROI Report, and Coach's Corner.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based legal intelligence platform layered with generative AI (AI Navigator), predictive analytics, proprietary connection-scoring algorithms, and the ungameable LLFI ranking system. AI capabilities are integrated across multiple products rather than concentrated in a single feature. Underlying data is research-based and rigorously vetted rather than crowdsourced, supporting proprietary indices such as the Leopard Diversity Probability Index. The architecture enables modules such as Coach's Corner (recruiting talking points) and Connection Reports (relationship mapping) to leverage shared infrastructure.

The business model is subscription-based (annual or multi-year) across product suites, complemented by bespoke custom reports. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with inside sales coverage and a self-serve web channel; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer segments include law firms (including Am Law 200), corporate legal departments, legal recruiters, law schools, and legal service providers. The company is private and was acquired by SurePoint Technologies in May 2024, now operating as SurePoint Legal Insights within SurePoint's Growth Solutions division. Leopard Solutions is a certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBENC).

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• vLex: vLex is an AI-native legal research and intelligence platform expanding into comparative law firm intelligence. It represents an emerging competitive threat in AI-augmented legal analytics adjacent to Leopard's AI Navigator.
• Gavelytics: Now part of Bloomberg Law, Gavelytics pioneered California litigation analytics for in-house counsel. It represents the kind of point-solution analytics that is increasingly bundled into incumbent platforms, competing with Leopard's predictive analytics offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Westlaw (Thomson Reuters): Thomson Reuters' Westlaw and Practical Law platforms serve as foundational legal research and intelligence tools for most large law firms. They represent the incumbent alternative against which Leopard's specialized analytics compete for budget.
• Bloomberg Law: Bloomberg Law offers comprehensive legal research, analytics, and market intelligence to law firms and corporate counsel. It competes broadly with Leopard's full suite and bundles intelligence features into enterprise contracts at scale.
• Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory: Wolters Kluwer provides practice management, compliance, and analytics tools for law firms through products like Elite and TyMetrix. It competes for the same mid-sized firm budgets as Leopard, particularly within the SurePoint ecosystem.

Others

• Acuris (M&A Intelligence): Acuris provides deal intelligence and M&A data across industries, including some legal-sector coverage. Its M&A analytics compete directly with Leopard's Practice Group Acquisition and M&A tools for law firm strategy use cases.

Direct peers

• Martindale-Avvo (Internet Brands Legal): Martindale-Avvo maintains large attorney directories and review platforms used by consumers and legal marketers. While more consumer-oriented, its attorney data assets partially overlap with The Leopard List for marketing and BD use cases.
• Lex Machina: Lex Machina (owned by LexisNexis) provides legal analytics on judges, law firms, and case outcomes. It overlaps with Leopard's predictive analytics and competitive intelligence capabilities, particularly in litigation-driven law firm strategy.
• Chambers and Partners: Chambers publishes widely cited rankings and editorial reviews of law firms and attorneys worldwide. Its rankings methodology and firm intelligence overlap with Leopard's LLFI and Connection Reports, particularly for BD and panel selection.
• ALM Intelligence: ALM Intelligence provides legal market research, surveys, and rankings across the legal industry. It directly competes with Leopard's market intelligence offerings (Firmscape, LLFI) and serves a similar buyer base of law firm leadership and corporate counsel.
