AI-powered litigation platform combining a deposition services marketplace with full-cycle case support tools, built specifically for plaintiff litigation at small and mid-sized firms. Founded by a practicing trial lawyer and software developer — launched 2023 as deposition scheduling marketplace offering direct booking of independent Certified Shorthand Reporters and licensed Videographers at below-agency rates (CA Court Reporters Board Lic. 261). In August 2025, expanded with TrialBase Litigation Intelligence — specialized AI agents for intake screening, demand letter drafting, case summarization, mediation briefs, deposition preparation, and trial material generation. Uses Google Document AI for document processing (confirmed via published academic paper, American Journals, Oct 2025) and large-context LLMs (blog references 1M token context windows). AI outputs explicitly require attorney review per AI Services Addendum. Pricing appears per-case rather than subscription: Case Summary Agent starts at $50. Partnership with Rockpoint Legal Funding for in-platform litigation funding to cover deposition costs. Based in San Francisco, 9 employees, 119 LinkedIn followers. Early-stage but generating practitioner interest — mentioned in r/Lawyertalk as handling ‘most paralegal work for PI cases’ and in r/legaltech for workflow automation. Attended TLTF Summit 2025. Focused on plaintiff litigation workflow, particularly PI — not suitable for corporate, transactional, or defense-side work.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Trialbase is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Trialbase addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Managing 200+ open PI cases with medical records, deadlines, and lien tracking in spreadsheets — one missed statute of limitations and the firm faces malpractice
Legal research costs $400-600/hour in associate time and takes hours of manual digging — searching Westlaw/Lexis, reading irrelevant results, synthesizing case law. Clients increasingly refuse to pay for research hours on invoices. AI can compress a 4-hour research memo into 20 minutes, but most firms have no approved tool
Demand letter drafting takes 3-6 hours per case because the attorney manually weaves medical records, liability facts, and damage calculations into a persuasive narrative — multiplied across 50+ active PI cases
PI intake calls come in at 50-200 per week but 60-80% aren't viable cases — the firm wastes hours screening callers before a single billable minute, and good leads go cold waiting for callback
Litigation team has hours of deposition and hearing recordings that need to become court-formatted transcripts before a filing deadline — in-house transcription is too slow and general transcription services return documents full of legal terminology errors that need multiple rounds of correction
