General Counsel
Litigation Management
What You Do Today
Oversee pending and threatened litigation — coordinate with outside counsel, manage discovery, evaluate settlement vs. trial decisions, and control legal spend.
AI That Applies
Litigation analytics that predict case outcomes based on judge history, jurisdiction, claim type, and opposing counsel track record. AI-assisted document review for discovery.
Technologies
How It Works
For litigation management, the system review for discovery. Predictive models fit to historical outcome data identify which variables are the strongest leading indicators, then apply those weights to current inputs to generate forward-looking scores. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.
What Changes
Discovery costs drop dramatically with AI document review. Outcome prediction helps you make data-informed settle-or-fight decisions instead of relying purely on outside counsel's gut.
What Stays
Litigation strategy. When to be aggressive, when to settle, and how to protect the company's reputation while managing financial exposure.
What To Do Next
This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.
Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for litigation management, understand your current state.
Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.
Define Your Measures
What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle
How to calculate
Measure how long litigation management takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.
Why it matters
The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
Why it matters
Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.
