Matter management and data

When an in-house team has all of its matters set up in LawVu, it has all of the contextual data. If the matter proceeds to litigation, a sub-folder can be created for the litigation, which can then pre-populate with all of the folders the organization needs to have - for example correspondence, discovery, pleadings, drafts. Now, all of the contextual data is linked to that litigation matter.

Out of the box and customizable dashboards can also assist with reporting to leadership.

Workflow & project management

A key component of legal project management involves task tracking. LawVu’s task feature allows the user to create a project workflow. When a matter proceeds to litigation you can have task templates created to follow that workflow.

For example:

• Case Assessment
• Settlement / ADR
• Motion Practice
• Discovery
• Trial
• Appellate Proceedings

Templates can be included that track the workflow of each litigation phase, such as for Trial Preparation and Trial, sub-folders of Fact Witnesses, Expert Witnesses, Written Motions and Submissions, Other Trial Preparation and Support, Trial and Hearing Attendance, Post-Trial Motions and Submissions, and Enforcement.

Collaboration & visibility

Each piece of the workflow can be assigned to the best person to complete a task, whether it’s being managed internally, outsourced, or a hybrid where your team and external resources are working together.

By having all of your matters - pertinent information, documents, communications, timelines - in one connected platform that is utilitarian, your team is empowered to exercise a certain degree of control over the litigation process. The result is that a business’ decisions are informed and its overall strategy can be optimized.
