Litigation Support Software and Litigation Management
MasterFile lets you manage all the moving parts of even the most complex litigation from end to end all in one place.
What is litigation support software?
Whether for the plaintiff (one who brings the charge) or the defendant (one against whom the charge is brought) the activities designed to prepare a lawyer to try a case constitute litigation support, and litigation support software is designed to help you manage them. These activities include document review, interviewing witnesses, case preparation and its related activities: classification and organization of documents, email, depositions, research, etc. for review and production, analysis of case claims, facts and issues, and development of argument.
MasterFile is litigation support software that lets you intuitively outline the elements of your case, easily manage your case master file, deal with ediscovery, production, and work product, and set out your argument. Take a deep dive into the story behind the evidence with MasterFile – and win more.

Since every case DNA is made up of claims, counterclaims, and defenses you can easily organize them in MasterFile. Claims, counterclaims, defenses and their related issues are all keywords. Set out the claim and add issues and other probative factors in one step. It’s litigation management software that’s simple and intuitive.
