BigHand Business Intelligence has been named Overall Legal Analytics Solution of the Year at the 2026 LegalTech Breakthrough Awards, selected from thousands of nominations. It is the product’s second win in the category, following 2024, and places BigHand on a 2026 winners list that includes Docusign, LexisNexis, and Relativity.
“We’re very grateful to LegalTech Breakthrough for this recognition, and to the clients who put Business Intelligence to work every day,” said Bríana McCrory, Chief Marketing and EMEA Revenue Officer at BigHand.
“Law firm leaders are accountable for performance they can’t fully see. The numbers often arrive late, in pieces, and after a decision is made. We built this software to change that, so leaders have intelligence before the point of decision, while a pricing, staffing, or investment call can still go the other way. To be recognized for that twice means a great deal to our team and the firms we work with.”
The need for improved financial intelligence is growing. BigHand’s 2026 Law Firm Finance Report found that 96% of firms raised rates in the past 12 months, yet 89% saw write-offs increase. BigHand Business Intelligence brings data from practice management, billing, and time recording systems into self-service dashboards, from the firm as a whole down to an office, practice group, partner, or matter. Risk flagging highlights aging work in progress (WIP) and slowing collections before they hit the P&L.
FordHarrison, a US labor and employment law firm, shows the difference in practice. Since adopting BigHand Business Intelligence, the firm has cut the time spent on pricing analytics by more than 50%, and its pricing team now pulls up matter history and performance data in seconds.
“We now have an incredible powerhouse for financial data,” said Eric Holman, Chief Financial Officer at FordHarrison. “If you need realization measures, last bill dates, or to slice data by phase or task code, you’re seconds away from it.”
The award comes as BigHand moves Business Intelligence to Microsoft Fabric, giving BI 4.0 Cloud customers a legal-specific data model and more than 600 pre-built financial and operational measures at no additional cost.
