Bufete for litigation

Track deadlines, prepare for hearings, research with cited sources and draft the filings for every case.

Stages of a lawsuit

A case moves through stages with strict deadlines. In each one Bufete tracks the dates and prepares the first draft, and your team decides.

  1. 01

    Complaint and answer

    You study the facts and draft the first filing.

    Risk

    The deadline to answer runs from the service of process.

  2. 02

    Evidence

    You gather and organize the parties' documents.

    Risk

    Evidence is excluded because it was filed late.

  3. 03

    Hearings

    You prepare each hearing with the client and the team.

    Risk

    A deadline before the hearing passes without notice.

  4. 04

    Filings

    You draft replies, closing briefs and appeals.

    Risk

    An unverified citation reaches the court.

  5. 05

    Judgment and appeals

    You read the judgment and decide whether to appeal.

    Risk

    The deadline to appeal expires.

Problem

A miscounted or misrecorded deadline can cost the case.

Pull the deadlines from every notice

Upload the court notice. Bufete finds the hearing and the deadlines, and proposes them for the calendar.

  • Each date cites the passage in the document
  • Counts deadlines in business days
  • A deadline is confirmed once someone reviews it
Problem

Before a hearing there are tasks, documents and reminders that depend on several people.

Prepare every hearing

Each hearing brings together the courtroom, the case, the team and the tasks before it.

  • Prior tasks with their owner
  • Reminders one week, one day and two hours before
  • Reschedule the hearing and its deadlines move with it
Problem

A made-up or misread citation in a filing can end in a sanction.

Research with sources you can open

Ask the question in your own words. Bufete answers with the law and case law, and every statement carries its citation.

  • Each citation opens the article or the ruling
  • The answer uses the case documents
  • Points out what is missing from the file
Problem

Filings are drafted against the clock, and copying from the last one carries over mistakes.

Draft the filing from your template

Ask for the draft with the facts of the case and review each proposed change in the editor.

  • Replies, closing briefs, evidence inventories and letters
  • The facts come from the case documents
  • Accept or reject each proposed change
Problem

The client asks about their case and the team writes the same report every week.

Keep the client up to date

An automation prepares the weekly update with what happened in the case. You approve it before it is sent.

  • Uses the week's filings, tasks and minutes
  • Approve, edit or reject each email
  • No email goes out without an approval
Who it is for
  • Litigators
  • Litigation teams
  • Firms handling document-heavy disputes
