Today document technology company Litera acquired Levit & James Inc.’s table of authorities (TOA) product Best Authority for an undisclosed amount. As Litera focuses on transaction work, Best Authority’s features added instant TOA robustness without the need for extensive development in-house, the company said.
To be sure, Litera Desktop did have TOA features before the Best Authority acquisition. In fact, Litera purchased TOA software building startup CitationWare in 2011. Litera also offers a proofreading tool called Litigation Companion, which detects and codes citations written into a document and generates a TOA.
