Legal Hold Preparation
Determining the who, what and when of legal holds is becoming increasingly complex with the growing importance of electronic documents and discovery.

• Use our Facts and Issues module to prepare timelines and chronologies of early dispute communications, documents and activities to determine when legal hold requirements attach.
• Map out data and document custodians with our Case Participants module to identify all persons potentially subject to a litigation hold.

Early Case Assessment
Early case assessment involves evaluation of case strengths and weaknesses early in the litigation process with the goal of better managing how it will be handled or settled.  Early case assessment is more important than ever with document intensive cases because of the increased litigation costs that these cases often involve.  Mistakes can be made and favorable settlement windows may be squandered if your case understanding lags case progress.

• Identify your dispute 'cast of characters' with our Case Participant module.
• Specify legal issues potentially implicated in the  dispute with our Facts and Issues module and organize early legal research around case issues identified.
• Timeline alleged facts from client interviews, correspondence and Identify key factual disagreements.
• Extract key facts and identify key witnesses and associated documents to prepare for depositions and trial testimony.
• Use our dynamic timelines & chronologies that automatically update with new facts added.

Discovery Conferences
Early 'meet and confer' discovery conferences under FRCP 26 (and similar state rules) are playing a larger role with electronic discovery.  Proper planning and organization is key in successfully handling this too-often neglected stage of litigation.  Lexbe can help!

• Document 'meet and confer requirements and identify key custodians, personnel and document stores.
• Determine and track the location and amount of ESI and whether it is reasonably accessible or not.
• Map out case issues in advance to better limit potentially expensive discovery to important custodian and email and document stores.

Document Review
The real work of document-intensive cases comes with document review.  We can't say we make document review 'fun', but we certainly make it less painful, more accurate, quicker and cheaper.

• Easily tag documents for responsive, privileged, work-product, confidential, atty eyes only, etc.
• Quickly tag large numbers of documents to speed review (e.g., for privilege) using Lexbe's multi-doc edit functionality.
• Unlimited custom fields available to allow granular tagging of documents and filtering.

Document Production
You can complete your productions within Lexbe.  You retain control of how and when you finish review, to better manage tight discovery deadlines.

• Bates number documents quickly with full flexibility.
• Automatic generation of production privilege log from fielded data within Lexbe Online (e.g., sender, receiver, date, subject matter), with links to documents available, to speed preparation, internal review and accuracy.
• Page level Bates stamping of PDF documents available for even very large productions.
• Integrated Bates numbering of native productions included (at file level).
• Download on demand production sets for final review and distribution.

Deposition Preparation
Lexbe Online enables you to comprehensively identify and organize documents needed for individual depositions.

• Search full text on deponent name, email, etc., as well as deponent-linked case issues, to find all documents to potentially address in a deposition.
• Tag documents for individual depositions for online review, download, or local printing.
• Quickly access new documents as needed for deposition rebuttal.
• Use case chronologies filtered by deponent to cover key facts in the case.

Transcript Analysis
Once deposition transcripts are received from court reporters you can easily upload them to Lexbe online for review, analysis and timeline integration.  Stop summarizing depos and instead extract and use the facts established! 

• Copy and paste important facts from transcripts into linked issue timelines.
• Sort transcript facts by date, issue, if a fact is material, if a fact is contested, etc.
• Integrate transcript established facts with facts from other transcripts or documentary evidence.
• Print a summary of key facts extracted from a deposition by depo page or by fact date/time.

Motion Practice
With fewer cases going to trial, the summary judgment stage is increasingly important in many cases.  Motions and responses must be filed quickly and Lexbe Online allows you to have important documents and timelines at your fingertips.

• Access supporting and contradicting evidence quickly and easily.
• Determine which case facts have been established by testimony or documentary evidence and are material and uncontested, to identify issues appropriate for your summary judgment motions.
• Effectively oppose dispositive motions by identifying controverting facts and evidence with timelines and full-text transcript and document search.
• Be prepared to quickly and effectively argue and oppose motions.

Settlement Negotiations
Settlement negotiations can develop anytime, but often come to a head after dispositive motions are determined.  Lexbe Online helps you have the best information possible to understand the good and bad aspects of your case and best assess the risks of litigation.

• Identify key documents in your case with full document search, substantive tagging, comprehensive document filtering.
• Understand early the good and bad facts in your case and well as which of the parties' respective claims are supported by the evidence, using Lexbe's facts and issues timelines.
• Share fact and issue timelines at client case conferences to help clients understand the good, and more importantly the bad, facts in any case that affect case valuation and risk.

Trial Support
Having fact and issue timelines and all case documents at your fingertips in a searchable organized repository can be a key asset at trial.   

• Avoid trial mistakes by creating fact checklists of all evidence that must be admitted to support claims.
• Locate and print even obscure documents quickly.
• Alternatively download documents into our Briefcase for indexed, off-line access.
• Export key documents to TrialDirector, Verdict Sanction II and other trial presentation programs.
