Kennedys IQ has partnered with Solomonic, a litigation analytics company known for its data-driven intelligence platform, to transform how litigation risk is managed across the insurance value chain.
The partnership responds to the insurance industry’s increasing demand for external datasets that improve visibility into litigation risk, according to InsurTech Insights.
By fusing Solomonic’s comprehensive litigation data with Kennedys IQ’s event detection and policy wording analytics, the collaboration promises a transparent, explainable model for insurers to assess and manage risk during policy issuance, administration, and renewal.
Kennedys IQ leverages technology and data science to deliver innovative solutions for insurers, particularly in the areas of claims handling, risk assessment, and legal services automation. In March 2025, it launched SmartRisk Machine Intelligence, a major addition to its AI-powered platform, designed to contextualise risk data to aid decision-making across the insurance lifecycle.
Solomonic is widely regarded for its precision-driven litigation analytics platform. The company enables legal professionals and insurers to make better-informed decisions by providing actionable intelligence derived from court data and litigation trends.
The new initiative builds upon previous research and development led by Kennedys IQ. This includes work supported by Innovate UK and conducted in partnership with University College London, the University of Manchester, RiskCovered, and Havas. These efforts helped lay the groundwork for the SmartRisk Machine Intelligence tool, which now gains new capability through the Solomonic partnership.
This collaboration is intended to empower insurers with advanced analytical tools that offer deeper insights into litigation risk, reducing the likelihood of claim surprises and enabling more informed underwriting strategies.
Kennedys IQ chief product officer Karim Derrick said, “We are incredibly excited about the potential of bringing litigation data into the IQ Platform. Litigation is the risk of risks—it will enable our clients to gain deeper insight into the world around them. When combined with SmartRisk Machine Intelligence, we avoid data overload and instead deliver contextual analysis.”
Solomonic chief revenue officer Peter Nussey said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Kennedys IQ and expand the use of our data into domains where its value can be harnessed. Collaboration and continued innovation will empower new clients to drive greater impact within their businesses.”
The news follows a recent product launch from Kennedys, which saw the firm introduce SmartRisk, the first fully explainable neuro-symbolic AI risk analysis solution for the insurance sector.
This latest addition to its data-driven IQ Platform aims to revolutionise policy review, liability, and coverage analysis by enhancing decision-making speed, accuracy, and consistency.
The launch of SmartRisk comes in response to increasing industry demand for AI-driven automation in risk analysis and underwriting.
