Managing 200+ open PI cases with medical records, deadlines, and lien tracking in spreadsheets — one missed statute of limitations and the firm faces malpractice

Trust accounting is a disbarment minefield — one misposted IOLTA transaction means commingling client funds, and generic accounting software like QuickBooks doesn't understand the bar's three-way reconciliation requirements

When my litigation team receives 100,000 documents in discovery and the partner wants an early case assessment by Friday, I need to understand the key facts, players, and timeline before we've even started formal review — but right now the only option is throwing associate hours at it and hoping we surface the right documents

Senior associate preparing for a 3-week commercial fraud trial has 200,000 documents in the review platform but no way to automatically identify where Witness A's account of a meeting contradicts the email chain from that same day — the team manually cross-references depositions against contemporaneous documents, and a critical inconsistency in the opposing party's timeline only surfaces during cross-examination when it's too late to build the impeachment narrative

Litigation attorney preparing for a commercial fraud trial has 600 bank statements from 12 accounts spanning 5 years — the forensic accountant spends three weeks manually reading each statement, entering transactions into Excel, cross-referencing between accounts, and building fund-flow charts that the jury can understand, and any error in this manual process could undermine the entire case at trial

Forensic accountant on a commercial fraud case receives 600 bank statements as scanned PDFs — manually extracting, categorizing, and reconciling the transactions across 15 accounts would take three associates six weeks, and the trial date is in 30 days

Litigation partner presenting a complex financial fraud case to a jury needs to show where the money went — but the forensic accountant's Excel spreadsheets with 50,000 transactions make the jury's eyes glaze over, and opposing counsel argues the analysis is incomplete because nobody manually verified every transaction
