Solomonic partners with Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer to extend litigation analytics into Court of Appeal with comprehensive judgment analysis and advanced appeal tracking

Solomonic, the UK’s leading litigation data and analytics platform, today announces the launch of its Court of Appeal Module, delivering structured, large-scale insight into civil appeals in England and Wales. Developed in partnership with leading international law firm and long-term Solomonic user Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (“HSF Kramer”), the analysis gives practitioners a clearer view of how cases evolve, from the issue of a claim form through to the appeal stage, and how they are ultimately resolved.

Commenting on the launch, Solomonic’s CEO, Edward Bird, said: “Appeals play a critical role in advancing the law. However, appeals data has historically been incredibly fragmented, challenging to monitor and largely disconnected from broader litigation intelligence. We have plugged that gap: integrating appeals directly into our platform and enabling users to track developments, assess outcomes and gain a complete picture of civil litigation at both first instance and the appeal level.”

The launch represents a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive analysis of civil court appeals, extending Solomonic’s coverage beyond High Court judgments. Users can now track, monitor and research Court of Appeal decisions since 2014 covering the commercial High Court, with judicial insights drawn from over 1,000 appeal judgments. Solomonic now monitors and captures newly filed appeals, ensuring practitioners remain informed swiftly as cases progress.

“The Court of Appeal is of course where many of the most significant legal questions are authoritatively addressed,” commented Maura McIntosh, Knowledge Counsel at HSF Kramer. “The new module allows me to see what cases are being appealed and track their progress with ease, including through setting alerts so that updates aren't missed. The ability to view the entire trajectory of a case from cradle to grave is an important evolution in how we monitor developments and deliver strategic, data-driven legal support.”

Now live on the Solomonic platform and available to thousands of practitioners, the module bolsters Solomonic as a single, authoritative source of litigation intelligence. Users can develop a more informed, strategic understanding of risk, timelines and litigant behaviours.

Key features of the Court of Appeal Module include:

• Track appeal developments: Receive alerts when appeals are filed and follow their progress through the Court of Appeal.
• Gain appeal-level market intelligence: See appeal outcomes, including upheld and overturned decisions, reflected directly within originating claim timelines, offering insight into how disputes play out beyond first instance.
• Conduct deeper, more targeted research: Search and analyse over a thousand judgments by party, judge, topic, legal issue and more - making it easier to stay informed and investigate historic patterns.

With approximately 10% of High Court judgments appealed over the last 12 years (in the courts that Solomonic currently covers), these insights enrich the litigation story, providing a more complete picture of risk and precedent.

The bespoke module complements Solomonic’s extensive analysis of commercial disputes in the High Court and Competition Appeal Tribunal. Leading businesses and law firms already rely on Solomonic to stay on top of the litigation market, win more business and advise clients supported by robust, data-driven intelligence.

This launch marks a major evolution in Solomonic’s legal intelligence platform and is the first of several new jurisdictions planned for 2026, including the Supreme Court.
