Explore the defense workflows
Built for Defense Counsel, Sponsored by Corporate Legal and Claims
esumry fits into the real world of outside counsel. Defense attorneys and paralegals use it to accelerate work on their assigned cases. The platform enhances how they analyze cases, create work product, and perform required reporting. Corporate legal and claims teams benefit from more efficient work and more standardized outputs.
One Platform for Core Defense Workflows
Rather than stitching together point tools, esumry brings core pretrial workflows into one secure and confidential application:
Case file analysis – quickly structures facts and issues extracted from key documents to speed case understanding and analysis.
AI drafting workspace – generate first drafts of motions, outlines, pleadings, and reports.
Document Intelligence – automatically extracts metadata and generates concise summaries to quickly provide a clear picture of what matters in the record.
Summaries & digests – produce consistent, exportable, citation-based document summaries and deposition digests.
Timelines & chronologies – turn scattered facts into clear, exportable event sequences.
Defense counsel use the workflows during each phase of the litigation; supervising counsel and claims professionals get more predictability in how those tasks are handled.
How esumry Fits into Your Outside Counsel Strategy
You decide where esumry should be used—by case type, panel firm, or portfolio. Defense lawyers then use it within their existing privilege and work product framework. Nothing about your relationship changes; you simply influence how fast work gets done on the firm side.
Measurable Impact on Spend and Cycle Time
When esumry handles repetitive parts of case preparation, firms need fewer hours to deliver the same (or better) work product. Matters move faster, and you can see the difference in invoices and cycle time.
Fewer hours on summaries and initial drafts
Faster turnaround on drafts and updates
Greater consistency across similar matters
AI Governance, Compliance, and Security
Use of unauthorized AI is a compliance problem for preserving confidentiality and protecting privileges. esumry protects client information with zero data retention (ZDR) AI models and enterprise grade security. All data is encrypted in storage and in transit. Importantly, all AI outputs ensure human-in-the-loop verificaton and review for RPC compliance.
