Our premier/flagship offering is the Complaint Analysis tool. This tool is capable of reading a complaint, or other lawsuit-initiating document, and producing a complete set of initial responsive documents tailored to the jurisdiction where the action was filed, including answers, requests for production, interrogatories, deposition notices, and other case-initiating documents. Additionally, we are able to customize the style and content of these documents to make them indistinguishable from those generated by your attorney or firm.
Like all of our products, the Complaint Analysis tool features an easy-to-use, browser-based interface; no software needs to be installed or maintained on your firm’s computer systems and no technical expertise is necessary to use it. To use the tool, simply upload the document via our web interface and in 2-3 minutes, download your requests for production, interrogatories, answer, and other documents.
The Complaint Analysis tool is designed for use by defense side attorneys in the earliest stages of litigation, usually just after receiving a copy of the initial complaint or other pleading from opposing counsel, and only requires a digital copy (e.g. a PDF) of that initial complaint to use.
The Complaint Analysis tool works by using our proprietary Artificial Intelligence system to read and understand the complaint on a sentence-by- sentence basis. This process enables our system determine the key allegations and relevant causes of action alleged in a legal document at a very granular level, similar to that of an attorney or legal professional but in a fraction of the time. Using this deep understanding of the complaint, our system is able to draft an answer that addresses the actual allegations of the complaint and discovery requests that are tailored to the allegations in the complaint.
Additionally, for jurisdictions where a party is required to respond to each allegation in a complaint on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, our system also extracts the necessary information from the complaint and allows the user to quickly respond to each individual paragraph in an automated fashion using our integrated in-browser tool. By automating this critical, but often tedious task our system can save hours in generating identical work-product.
Our Discovery Analysis tool is the first of its kind. It allows a user to upload a written discovery request (e.g. requests for production, interrogatories, requests for Admissions, etc.) and in 1-2 minutes receive a fully formatted response document (in MS WORD) with all of the requests incorporated into the response. In addition, our Discovery Analysis tool is capable of analyzing the content of each request to determine if the request is objectionable via our SMARTOBJECT™ system, which will suggest potential targeted objections for each request. Additionally, like all of our products, our Discovery Analysis tool output is fully customizable to mirror the style and content of your current discovery responses and makes our output indistinguishable from those generated by your attorneys.
Like all of our products, the Discovery Analysis tool features an easy-to-use, browser-based interface; no software needs to be installed or maintained on your firm’s computer systems and no technical expertise is necessary to use it. To use the tool, simply upload the discovery request via our web interface and in 1-2 minutes, download your response document with objections included.
The Discovery Analysis tool is designed for use by both plaintiff and defense side attorneys in all stages of litigation, and only requires a digital copy (e.g. a PDF) of the discovery request.
Our Discovery Analysis tool uses advanced AI and OCR technology to identify the type of discovery uploaded, the style of each request, and to extract each individual request from a discovery document. With this information, our system is able to process each individual discovery request through our AI system to determine what type of information or document the discovery request is asking for. Based on this detailed understanding of each discovery request we are able to provide a full range of discovery responses from simple shells that mirror the language and formatting of the request, to responses and incorporate objections based on our analysis of the content of the discovery request. For example, when presented with a request for medical records, our SMARTOBJECT™ system will incorporate a medical privacy objection in its output (if applicable in your jurisdiction).
Our Discovery Analysis tool automates one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks of litigation. Before our tool existed, an attorney or paralegal would have to either copy and paste the discovery requests from a scanned copy of the PDF and correct all the formatting issues, or manually retype the questions. They would then have to read each request, determine the relevant objection, and insert the corresponding text. Depending on the number of discovery requests in a document this can easily take 1-3 hours of work before even substantively responding to the requests. Our Discovery Analysis tool can perform that 1-3 hours of work in 1-2 minutes.
A national insurance carrier with significant litigation volume across the country for its insureds, was searching for technology, tools, and processes to increase efficiency on its litigation matters to lower its litigation costs. This national insurance carrier partnered with LegalMation to identify an area of litigation where LegalMation could have a significant and immediate impact and decided to deploy LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool for all of its third-party motor vehicle tort litigation.
LegalMation worked closely with the national insurance carrier to customize the output from its platform to generate documents that mirrored the current output of the national insurance carrier’s attorneys and paralegals. LegalMation was able to automate the creation of an answer, requests for production of documents, interrogatories, requests for admissions, and deposition notices, all tailored to the facts and allegations of each complaint and almost indistinguishable from those manually created by the insurance company’s attorneys and paralegals. LegalMation was able to generate this output in 2-3 minutes—a significant time savings over the insurance company’s prior practice for generating this output.
Following a pilot program consisting of processing all of its complaints for a single jurisdiction through LegalMation, the national insurance company made LegalMation an integral part of its workflow for all jurisdictions where LegalMation currently operates. In these jurisdictions, when a new motor vehicle-related lawsuit is served on the insurance company or its insureds, the assigned counsel or paralegal runs the complaint through the LegalMation Complaint Analysis tool, downloads the initial outputs, which are then reviewed by the attorney or paralegal and finalized, all within a few minutes.
A leading global retail giant achieves significant savings on legal fees on its high-volume litigation matters using LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool.
The Legal Operations group of a leading global retailer with significant litigation volume across the country was searching for technology tools to increase efficiency and consistency on its litigation matters, lower its legal spend, and obtain more value from outside counsel. Working with LegalMation, the retailer identified two litigation areas with large volume where the deployment of LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool could have a significant impact: employment and premises liability tort litigation.
The retailer conducted a pilot of LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool by asking select outside counsel to run complaints through the LegalMation Complaint Analysis tool and compare the outputs to those generated by the firm’s typical workflow. LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool was able to generate an answer, requests for production and interrogatories that were almost identical to those generated by outside counsel and tailored to the facts and allegations of each.
Today, this global retailer has made LegalMation an integral part of its workflow and case assignment process. When a new lawsuit is served on the retailer in one of the jurisdictions where LegalMation operates, an in-house paralegal runs the complaint through LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool and sends the output, consisting of an answer, requests for production, interrogatories, and other jurisdiction or firm-specific output to the selected outside counsel for the matter. Outside counsel then bills the retailer solely for the time spent reviewing and editing this initial output which generates significant savings for the global retailer.
Handling over 5,000 employment related litigation matters per year across the country, the Am Law 100 law firm (the “Firm”) needed a quantifiable solution to lower its servicing costs and provide more value to its national clients. The Firm engaged in extensive testing of LegalMation’s platform across multiple offices to determine its effectiveness.
Using LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool, the Firm was able to reduce the attorney time spent preparing answers, affirmative defenses, and initial written discovery (requests for production, interrogatories, and other jurisdiction-specific requests) from an average of 6-8 hours per matter, to less than 1 hour (including review time by an attorney). The Firm tested LegalMation’s tools across multiple types of employment cases across various jurisdictions and concluded that the resulting draft documents were not only produced incredibly fast, but were also consistent in quality.
Today, the Firm is able to offer more competitive proposals for its volume matters, which in turn allows it to obtain additional work from national clients.
A high-caliber general litigation boutique reduced paralegal and associate time and money expended on key early litigation tasks by 75%+
A general litigation boutique with around 40 attorneys needed to cut costs in order to stay competitive in a very crowded local market and also sought to minimize reliance on support staff.
Using LegalMation’s platform, the boutique law firm was able to reduce the attorney (and paralegal) time spent preparing answers, initial discovery (requests for production and interrogatories), and discovery responses, including objections, from several hours per matter, to less than 1 hour (including review time by a supervising attorney). The boutique firm tested LegalMation’s Complaint Analysis tool and Discovery Analysis tool across multiple practice areas and concluded that the resulting draft documents were not only produced incredibly fast but also with consistency and quality similar to its own junior attorneys and paralegals. In particular, the boutique law frim, which did not have the luxury of a large support staff, found LegalMation’s Discovery Request tool particularly helpful in dealing with burdensome discovery requests served on its clients.
Today, the boutique law firm is able to offer more competitive proposals for its matters and through the efficiency gained by LegalMation’s platform compete against national law firms with more resources.
