March 11, 2026 [Austin, TX] – SurePoint Technologies, a leading provider of legal software and intelligence solutions, has been named the winner of the Innovation in Hiring, Staffing & Recruiting category at the 2026 Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards, presented by Law.com and Legaltech News.
This annual awards program honors organizations and individuals driving innovation in the legal industry across three categories: law firms, legal departments, and technology providers. The recognition underscores SurePoint’s leadership in transforming how legal professionals identify, assess, and engage talent. SurePoint was honored for its groundbreaking Legal Insights Connection Report Suite, which helps firms uncover professional relationships and identify stronger recruiting and business development opportunities.
Built on more than two decades of verified attorney employment and education data, the Connection Report Suite includes five integrated tools, highlighted by the newly launched Attorney Connection Map, which served as the centerpiece of this year’s award submission.
Using a single name lookup, firms can access a dynamic, interactive view of an attorney’s professional network, instantly uncovering verified connections across law firms and corporate legal departments. Each connection is scored using a proprietary algorithm that evaluates shared practice areas, overlapping tenure, office locations, and academic cohort proximity. With powerful filters to refine and prioritize results, the tool enables smarter, more personal outreach for both legal recruiting and business development.
“Our goal has always been to equip law firms with technology that turns data into actionable intelligence,” said Eric Thurston, President & CEO, SurePoint. “This recognition from Law.com and Legaltech News affirms the impact of the Connection Report Suite and our commitment to transforming how firms recruit, collaborate, and grow.”
Unlike platforms that rely on self-reported or crowdsourced information, the Connection Report Suite draws from the SurePoint Legal Insights’ rigorously vetted database, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and depth.
The Connection Report Suite empowers firms to:
- Identify lateral candidates with natural cultural alignment
- Strengthen attorney retention through insight into relationship networks
- Unlock warm-path connections for business development
- Inform strategic planning through visibility into firmwide relationship capital
By elevating historical data into strategic intelligence, SurePoint is reshaping the future of legal talent—making hiring and staffing more informed, effective, and human-centered.
