Discovery indexing service for small litigation teams
Discovery indexing service for small litigation teams with Bates tracking and filters.
Why it can work
- Discovery dumps arrive disorganized and paralegals lose time searching.
- Protective orders add handling limits that manual sorting strains.
- Complaints recur across malpractice, federal criminal, and family cases.
Watch out
- Firms may already use internal Bates policies that differ.
- One-off work may not sustain recurring revenue.
