Transcript summaries and chronologies

The evidence, without reading every page.

We turn long transcripts and case files into short, page-referenced summaries and chronologies, so counsel can prepare submissions from a few pages instead of a few thousand.

Questions
Do you give legal analysis?

No. We summarise and organise the evidence accurately. Weighing it and drawing conclusions is for counsel.

Can I get summaries while the trial is still running?

Yes. When we transcribe a trial in batches, we can summarise each day as it is delivered.
