Fact Management and Chronologies

Overview

Facts and chronologies are fundamental to every dispute, litigation and investigation. Legal teams will create at least one chronology for every case. And fact management is essential to creating and maintaining chronologies. At the start of a case, you are beginning to piece together the story by identifying and creating facts, linking them to source material, issues and people. The chronology will evolve over the lifecycle of the matter as you uncover and develop further facts.

Our award-winning Opus 2 Case Management solution is specifically designed to allow modern litigation teams to collaborate from wherever they are. Work together to develop the facts in your matter, identify the crucial events, link document and testimony sources and maintain chronologies to help tell your clients' side of the story.

Overview – Fact Management and Chronologies

Our approach

One connected space

Bring together your whole team and all your case materials, including documents and transcripts, in a single connected space. Avoid missing key facts due to lack of organization and information silos created by disjointed tools.

Intuitive collaboration

Highlight and annotate at a document or transcript level, or on specific passages, using familiar post-it style notes. You can keep your notes private, share with specific individuals or the entire team to identify and develop facts.

Rich fact management

Details of your facts matter. Link to the source material such as documents, transcripts and specific passages or segments. Enrich your facts by associating with issues or people and add additional meta-data to allow for deeper analysis.

Automated chronology

Quickly generate chronologies based on facts. Manage multiple, independent chronologies to efficiently manage different arguments. Use advanced filters to easily create the right timeline to support your arguments.
