LOCALENS Book a demo

For legal

The bundle is forty thousand pages. The hearing is Tuesday.

Discovery, precedent and case-file retrieval all run on the same arithmetic: more paper than anyone can read, a deadline that does not move, and material so confidential it cannot be sent anywhere. LocaLens reads all of it inside your own building, and answers with the page.

45 minutes, on your own documents. Nothing is handed over to run it.

What you are actually dealing with

A question asked at nine should not be an answer that arrives Thursday.

01

Privilege ends the conversation

The moment a tool wants the bundle uploaded, the answer is no. Confidentiality and privilege are not preferences you get to waive for a software trial.

02

First-pass review is the whole cost

Reading everything once is billed by the hour or absorbed by the firm. Either way it is the line that makes a matter uneconomic to take on.

03

The registry's memory is a person

In a registry, knowing where the 2014 files went is a skill held by one clerk. It walks out of the building when they retire.

Scenarios

Four questions the archive should already be able to answer.

Each one is a real shape of request. The wording is illustrative; the point is that the answer comes back attached to the page it was read from.

01

First-pass discovery review

The disclosure set lands and somebody has to read all of it before anyone knows what the case is actually about. That pass is where the budget goes and where the crucial document gets missed.

anything that touches the easement over the access roadPartner, commercial litigation

  • Every passage across the whole set that speaks to the issue, each opening on its own page with the wording marked
  • Documents ordered by how squarely they answer, not by filename or folder
  • A narrowed review set you can hand to a junior on day one instead of week three
02

Precedent and prior positions

The firm has almost certainly argued this before. The difficulty is that the argument is in a matter file nobody remembers the name of.

what did we argue last time a limitation point came up on a construction contract?Associate, two years qualified

  • The prior submissions and advice that took the point, with the reasoning on screen
  • The documents behind them, so you can check what the position was actually based on
  • An answer in the time it takes to ask, rather than an email to whoever might remember
03

Case-file retrieval in a registry

A file is requested by half a description. Today that means walking the stacks on a guess; the requester waits, and sometimes the file is simply never found.

the 2016 matter between the two haulage companies, I think the claimant's name started with ORegistrar

  • The matter located from a partial recollection, with no suit number needed
  • The full file in one place — pleadings, orders, correspondence, exhibits
  • A record of who asked and what was released, kept automatically
04

Case data as a table

Reporting, cause lists and practice management all want the same handful of fields off the face of a judgment. Typing them out is the job nobody wants.

suit number, parties, judgment date and the orders made, for every appeal filed last yearHead of records

  • Rows and columns across the whole archive rather than one file at a time
  • A confidence score on every field, with anything doubtful flagged for a person
  • Each cell still linked to the page it was read from, so a figure can be checked in one click

The security review

The checklist your reviewer already has, answered in advance.

Nothing leaves the buildingThe whole system runs on hardware in your own premises. It works with the network unplugged.
Privilege is never transferredNo third party — us included — ever holds, processes or stores the material.
Every answer cites its pageNothing is asserted without the source document open beside it.
Access follows the matterRole-based permissions and document-level access, so a file is visible to the people it should be.
A complete audit trailEvery query, view and export is logged immutably, and the log itself exports.
Your retention policy is untouchedNothing changes about how long you hold documents or how you dispose of them.

How a deployment goes

Proved on one archive, in one building.

Day one The boxes go in

Scanned pages go in exactly as they are. No retyping, no reorganising, and no file leaves the building.

While it runs Every page gets read

Cover to cover, without anyone being assigned to the pile. You can watch it progress.

First week It answers

Ask in plain language and get the page back. This is the point at which the team stops walking to the shelf.

Afterwards New questions cost nothing

The archive is in. Asking something nobody thought of during scanning is not a new project.

Book a demo

Bring a matter file. We will ask it something.

Forty-five minutes, on documents you recognise, run the way you would run it. If it cannot find the thing you already know is in there, you will find out in the first ten minutes.

  • Your documents
  • 45 minutes
  • No data handed over
  • Live, not a recording
