Processing Complex Case Files

The Challenge

Lawyers often face overwhelming volumes of information when preparing statements of claim. Sifting through extensive files—sometimes over a thousand pages—can be time-consuming and inefficient. Traditional methods like manually annotating documents are not only slow but also prone to errors.
