Chronologies & Document Summaries

Chronology is king

Every good lawyer knows that the best arguments and most critical risks in a case reveal themselves once you have a solid chronology summarising the available records. Most cases are decided on the evidence, but what if you don't have the resources to get through all the records, or you need your team focused on other work?

What you get

A cited chronology: every entry traceable to its source document and page.
Document summaries: concise summaries of the key documents, written for use in litigation.
The documents: the referenced documents and records, extracted and labelled with ISO dates for easy reference.

Speed and quality

We have our own in-house tools to help us produce thorough, referenced chronologies from very large document sets. We turn the work around promptly, and a partner checks everything end to end before it is sent out.

Who it's for

Parties to litigation and their lawyers, and firms that need a reliable timeline of a large record set.

Common questions

What's the difference between a chronology and a document summary?

We think of a document summary as a chronological summary of a record set from a single source, sometimes without reference to relevance. A chronology is a unified summary of all relevant documents from all available sources, telling the complete story.

Can we start at the chronology stage?

Yes. We can build a chronology from the full record set, or from a set you've already filtered.

How is it priced?

It's quoted before we start, based on the volume of records.
