SettLiT Announces Membership in the National Legal Vendor Association

SettLiT today announced that it has become a member of the National Legal Vendor Association (NLVA), a professional organization dedicated to promoting high standards, accountability, and collaboration among vendors serving the legal industry.

While this announcement marks an important milestone for SettLiT, it is also reflective of a broader shift happening across the legal services ecosystem. As law firms become more data-driven and operationally sophisticated, the expectations placed on legal vendors continue to rise. Compliance, transparency, security, and reliability are no longer optional differentiators. They are baseline requirements.

Joining the NLVA signals SettLiT’s commitment to meeting and exceeding those expectations.

Why NLVA Membership Matters

The National Legal Vendor Association exists to elevate standards across companies that support law firms. Its focus on ethical business practices, operational integrity, and industry collaboration aligns closely with SettLiT’s mission to modernize how medical data is accessed and used in litigation.

Legal vendors play an increasingly critical role in firm operations. Whether supporting case management, eDiscovery, funding, or medical record retrieval, vendors are now deeply embedded in the workflow of modern litigation teams.

With that integration comes responsibility.

Membership in the NLVA reflects a commitment to:

• Transparent business practices
• Clear communication and accountability
• Responsible handling of sensitive legal and medical data
• Continuous improvement and industry collaboration

‍

For law firms, this provides an additional layer of confidence when selecting and evaluating strategic partners.

Strengthening Trust in Medical Data Infrastructure

SettLiT was built to address one of the most persistent operational challenges in personal injury and mass tort litigation: reliable access to medical records and health data.

By unifying provider discovery, digital network retrieval, pharmacy and claims data access, electronic medical records, and patient-directed authorization into a single compliant platform, SettLiT enables firms to move faster with greater certainty.

As medical data access becomes more centralized and digital, the importance of governance and standards increases. Law firms are entrusting vendors with highly sensitive health information, claimant identities, and case-critical documentation.

NLVA membership reinforces SettLiT’s commitment to operating within established industry standards while continuing to advocate for modern, secure, and consent-driven medical data access models.

A Broader Commitment to Industry Advancement

“Joining the National Legal Vendor Association reflects our long-term view of this industry,” said James Bateman, CEO at SettLiT. “Legal teams are operating at a higher level of sophistication than ever before. Vendors must match that sophistication with strong compliance frameworks, transparent practices, and infrastructure that scales responsibly. We see NLVA membership as part of that commitment.”

As litigation becomes more complex and multi-jurisdictional, collaboration between firms and vendors will only deepen. Industry organizations like the NLVA help create a shared framework for best practices, professionalism, and innovation.

SettLiT looks forward to engaging with other NLVA members to contribute to discussions around compliance, operational efficiency, and the future of legal technology.
