Create Consistent Summaries Across Matters
esumry instantly generates point-of-view summaries and digests of depositions following the firm’s or client’s preferred structure. That consistency makes it easier for defense lawyers and clients to read across different cases and quickly find what they need.
Reduce the Cost of Deposition Work for Clients
Summarizing depositions has traditionally consumed a lot of associate and staff time. By automating much of the summarization and organization, esumry cuts the hours needed while preserving the level of detail and quality you expect.
Cite-Ready Outputs Tied to the Transcript
Summaries and digests are tied back to the underlying transcript via linked page and line references. When lawyers are drafting motions, prepping witnesses, or planning cross, they can jump from a summary point straight to the original text.
Reuse Testimony Across Related Cases
When a key witness appears in multiple matters, previous deposition work becomes an asset. Lawyers can reuse and adapt existing summaries rather than starting each transcript from zero, improving both consistency and efficiency.
Make It Easier to Brief Clients and Experts
The same summary and digest content can be adapted into client-facing reports or expert materials. Lawyers decide what format to export and what to share, keeping internal notes and strategy inside the firm.
