Turn Facts into Clear Chronologies
Lawyers identify key events—emails, decisions, incidents, communications—and esumry helps organize them into a chronological view. That makes it easier to see the story of the case and spot gaps or inconsistencies.
Support Client and Stakeholder Updates
Timelines created in esumry can be exported into formats suitable for client updates, claim reviews, or strategy sessions. Lawyers keep internal notes in their own workspace and share only the views they choose with clients.
Strengthen Strategy on Motions and Settlement
By seeing how events line up over time, defense teams can better assess their position, identify inflection points, and plan motion practice or settlement discussions. Timelines often surface strategic insights that aren’t obvious from individual documents.
Connect Events to Source Evidence
Each event can be tied back to a document or transcript excerpt that supports it. That gives trial teams a fast path from the big picture to the underlying evidence when drafting, negotiating, or preparing for hearings.
Exportable for Hearings, Mediation, and Trial Prep
Once timelines are in good shape, they can be exported into PDFs, slides, or outlines for use in mediation, trial prep, or internal meetings. Updating them as new information comes in is much easier than editing static spreadsheets.
