Civil Litigation

Pleadings, deadlines, discovery, prep.

Litigation buries associates in documents and dates. These modules keep the record organised and the calendar right, and give the first draft a running start.

What this costs you today

  • —Deadlines computed by hand from rules that differ by court
  • —Discovery sets and responses drafted from a colleague's old file
  • —Document review priced per gigabyte
  • —Transcripts and exhibits summarised the night before
Typical impact

~12 hours

of paralegal and associate time absorbed per matter once the core modules are running.

At a $150 blended cost per hour that is about $1,800 per matter.
