Extract from Opus 2’s article “Build an Unbeatable Litigation Support Software Stack”
As cases grow increasingly complex, involving vast amounts of data, legal teams are under immense pressure to work more efficiently while ensuring accuracy and compliance at every stage of litigation. That means teams are more reliant than ever before on technology to help them get more done in less time.
Fortunately, technology has advanced to help address the needs of legal teams. Even so, not all legal teams are using the latest and greatest tools. Many teams have cobbled together piecemeal solutions that often aren’t designed for legal functions to manage communications, document organization, and trial preparation. While these tools may get the job done, they weren’t designed with the unique demands of litigation in mind. As a result, relying on them can lead to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and even data security risks.
For instance, using email as a primary communication tool can make it difficult to keep track of document versions, leading to confusion or mistakes during case preparation. Likewise, Adobe offers basic document annotation but lacks the advanced features needed for complex, multiparty collaboration. Moreover, these tools are often disconnected, forcing litigation teams to manually bridge the gaps between different stages of the case lifecycle.
Purpose-built solutions tailored to the litigation lifecycle offer greater efficiency, better data security, and improved case outcomes.
