Founded in 1989 and based in Coimbra, "DATAJURIS, Direito e Informática, Lda." is a company whose main business is designing and updating legal databases and making these services available online.
Aimed at everyone who works with the law every day, its clients include private individuals and organisations (lawyers and companies) as well as public bodies (central, regional and local government, and public services).
A pioneer in this field, DATAJURIS sees the law as a whole that cannot be split up or left to infrequent updates. To analyse each case effectively, the unity of the national legal system must be taken into account hic et nunc, so every piece of legislation gives rise to a record that is extensively annotated with both legislation and case law, and is updated and available at all times, 24 hours a day.
The value of this effort is clear from the problems that users face when doing legal research. Consider, for example:
- The tight procedural deadlines set by law;
- The difficulty of having, or accessing in good time, every source that must be consulted;
- Which is even harder outside the large cities;
- The cost of buying and constantly updating codes, compilations, etc.;
- The difficulty of storing and handling large amounts of information;
- The lack of systematic updating and processing;
- The constant flow of new legislation and the number of acts published every day.
In the daily work of today's lawyer, the DATAJURIS solution saves time and makes it possible to handle more cases, with an effective, reliable and rigorous information service.
All this work is available over the Internet and, so that the information is at hand in every situation (meetings, talks, debates, etc.), on mobile phones and all kinds of mobile devices.
Datajuris continues to develop innovative legal information solutions.
Examples are Justiça TV, the first legal web TV, which broadcasts events live and keeps a large video archive, and, more recently, Data Anonymizer, the first document anonymiser able to anonymise court decisions.
Ongoing contact with clients and attention to their needs over more than 30 years, together with a multidisciplinary team, have allowed Datajuris to meet every challenge with great success.
