More Benefits of Openlaw Disclosure Software for Litigation

Influence of Woolf reforms

The Woolf reforms may have reduced the scale of Disclosure, but they have emphasised the need to be both accurate and efficient about the task of listing documents.

The key term is cost-effective. The conflicting pressures of tight timetables, costs pressures and client expectations require an electronic solution, and not just for the big firms. At the same time, the falling costs of both software and the equipment to run it on, put computerised Disclosure within the grasp of any firm.

The Benefit	The Advantage
Truly portable between sites and between computers	Take or send the documents where they are needed
Scaleable and as relevant to small lists as to big ones	Spread the skills investment across several matters, at a cost pro rata to the each matter
Standard Windows tools	Familiar interface, industry-standard components
Simple record-card metaphor	Easily understood display of entries as they will appear in the printed List
Rapid data entry for main Disclosure fields	Easier and faster than WP with pick-lists and validation
Shareable, with different functions available to different people	Easy to allocate tasks to the most appropriate people in parallel or in sequence - whatever is most cost-effective
Phase the labour to the stages	Start with a simple List and expand the stored data as the action progresses
Designed for data exchange	Reduce the implications of compliance with Woolf costs-sharing directions
Backed up by experienced litigators	Gives you a support team who understands the context as well as the mere mechanics of Disclosure
