Simpson Thacher and Jigsaw were honored at the International Legal Technology Association’s 2021 Distinguished Peer Awards with the “Trailblazer Award” for their collaboration in automating the creation of over 1,000 structure charts in support of a client’s multibillion dollar real estate acquisition. A Simpson Thacher team, including Knowledge Management Lawyer Molly Wolfe and Practice Innovation Manager Debbie Ting, as well as the Firm’s broader Knowledge and Innovation Department, leveraged Jigsaw’s diagramming technology to generate over 1,000 structure charts in record time. In the spirit of true collaboration and innovation, Simpson Thacher and Jigsaw worked hand-in-hand to deliver an innovative and cost-efficient solution for our client by developing a custom program that automatically converted complex excel data into data visualizations depicting the ownership of each property in the large portfolio.
