CaseReady is powered by Opus 2’s award winning software. The efficient way to manage your electronic bundles and trial preparation, which allows us, Counsel and experts to work collaboratively with you in a secure digital environment from any location.
Our clients have full access to all key documents 24/7 allowing them to review and annotate statements, reports and chronologies, linked directly to the source materials. The platform compliments ES Locate, our existing e-disclosure solution for document review. We are the first international law practice to be granted an enterprise wide licence for this technology. Our legal teams, have access to the platform, which is fully supported in-house by our Litigation Technology team.
CaseReady is an intuitive software that allows efficient management of key evidential materials through real-time collaboration.
E-bundling allows our lawyers to create virtual bundles in preparation for trial and to annotate evidence in a dynamic workspace. Authorized team members can analyze the evidence, form and align their strategies and prepare for hearings and trials.
The materials and bundles prepared using our CaseReady platform can be used to present evidence at trial electronically, which minimizes administrative overheads and enables lawyers to work more efficiently.

Benefits

Greater efficiency
CaseReady removes the need for teams of trainees and paralegals to spend hours searching for documents and compiling bundles. Everything is produced electronically.
Bundles can be developed as the case progresses and annotated by the legal team as the case evolves. This dramatically streamlines the traditional bundle collation process, with our digital case bundles driving efficiency and cost savings.

Greater insight
CaseReady allows our lawyers to collaborate digitally in real-time. This eliminates any potential silos and allows legal teams to work together, sharing knowledge and work products with each other, Counsel, experts and the client in one easily accessible platform.

Security
CaseReady is a private cloud based solution delivered through Amazon Web Services. Using the platform to create electronic bundles reduces the need for hard copy files to be printed, thus reducing costs and security risks.
