Trial preparation

Your trial success starts with flawless preparation

When you're weeks from trial with thousands of documents to organise, technology to configure, and court books to compile, you need more than last-minute scrambling. You need senior experts who have experience in trial logistics, deliver under pressure, and ensure everything works when it matters most.

Document collation and preparation

When you’re in court and the pressure is on to immediately respond, you need quick access to key documents. Without proper document preparation, you risk more than your reputation - you risk the case.

Systems set-up and organisation

With tight deadlines to meet and your focus firmly on your legal strategy, technology set up might be the last thing on your mind, putting you at a disadvantage and potentially impacting the outcome of your trial.

Electronic document management

Inefficient eTrial tools and systems make it harder to pull together electronic court books, build hearing rooms for arbitration, collate real time transcripts or prepare trial bundles, putting you on the back foot at trial.
