From the Founder – September 2025

At Legal Ready, our vision has always been simple: to give lawyers tools that free them from admin and allow them to focus on what really matters – advocacy, strategy, and serving clients. 

Every improvement we make is about reducing friction, speeding up collaboration and creating products that feel like a natural extension of your work.

Over the past 6 months, the Legal Ready product development team has been working hard to deliver a faster, smarter, more intuitive platform.

These upgrades are shaped by your feedback, what slows you down, what takes too long, and what gets in the way of efficiency. We’ve listened. And the result is a set of improvements that save time, cut friction and make using Litigation Ready feel effortless.

All of these updates are now live in your account. You can see them in action here.

Recent product highlights

A fresher, more intuitive interface

The first thing you’ll notice about our new UI is the look and feel: clean, modern, and streamlined. But it’s more than aesthetics – it’s about helping you and your team get work done with less effort:

  • Workflows with fewer clicks
  • Navigation that follows the way lawyers work
  • Easier onboarding for new users
  • A design that reduces eye strain during long review sessions

Drag & drop that just works

Uploading documents has never been simpler. With the new drag & drop functionality, you can drop an entire folder – structure intact – and Litigation Ready does the rest.

  • Entire folders upload in seconds
  • Files land exactly where they should
  • No more tedious manual re-sorting
  • Huge time-savings when managing large matters

What once took minutes (or more) now takes only a few clicks. Learn more.

Smart renaming of files

We’ve all seen it: “scan001.pdf” … “final_final.docx.” Smart renaming now fixes this automatically:

  • Suggested names based on content and your firm’s conventions
  • Consistent, clear naming across your matters
  • Save hours when uploading dozens – or hundreds – of files
  • Manual override whenever you need it

The result: cleaner folders, faster reviews, and fewer mistakes.

AI features now available – try them out!

In August, we rolled out a suite of powerful AI features across our products – designed to help legal professionals manage and analyse their matters faster, with less manual work.

Bank Statement Analysis

Key transactions are extracted and summarised for you, accelerating financial reviews. Learn more about how this works.

Smart classification (including bank statements)

Filing can be one of the most time-consuming tasks in litigation. Our AI-driven classification now does it for you, instantly:

  • Bank statements, credit card statements, pleadings, correspondence – auto-sorted on upload
  • 90%+ time saved on document organisation
  • Great for collaborating with clients and third parties
  • Always under your control: review, edit, or switch it off any time

Learn more.

The following AI tools are now in beta for you to try for free!

AI Analyse Assistant

Ask questions and interact directly with your matter. From summarising documents to clarifying timelines, the assistant helps you surface insights faster. You can even use Analyse Assistant to cross check references back to the source documents in your matter. 

Learn more.

Chronologies

AI-generated fact summaries and timelines to reduce hours of manual prep. There’s no need to leave the platform while you are preparing your matter and use third party chronology point solutions. Simply select the documents on the platform that you want to use as the source for your chronology, and we will create the draft in real time, with cross-references linking each fact statement directly to its original source for easy verification.

Learn more.

AI you can trust

In line with our Responsible Use of AI Policy, all features operate within strict technical and contractual safeguards to preserve privacy and legal privilege. AI tasks are processed under robust protections:

  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Region-aware data handling
  • Strict access controls

Importantly, we do not use customer data to train AI models, nor do we permit third parties to access it for that purpose.

To learn more or see the features in action, contact us or book a demo, or simply log on and start using. We welcome your feedback on these tools while they are in beta and ideas for other AI tools that you would find useful! There’s a chat icon in the bottom right corner of your account when logged in – please leave your feedback using that tool. Once commercially released, these tools will be optional and incur an additional cost to use.

LiquidText integration

For users of LiquidText, Litigation Ready now offers a direct integration. Once enabled in your settings, you can copy documents straight from Litigation Ready into LiquidText. Read about how to activate it.

International Growth

It’s been an exciting year for Legal Ready as a whole. Alongside these product upgrades, we’ve been pushing forward on several other fronts:

  • Disclosure Ready continues to gain significant traction, helping make full and frank disclosure simpler, especially in complex family law matters. Since launching at the beginning of 2025, Disclosure Ready has hosted over 3,000 matters and the platform has also been launched into the US.
  • We launched Litigation Ready in the UK and Singapore markets and have signed up a number of customers, with some great feedback. Our first UK barrister subscriber, Richard Paige, said:

    “When I first tried Litigation Ready it would be fair to say that I was “blown away” by the experience. I’m thoroughly impressed. The product delivers exactly what I need, has made me much more efficient, and offers incredible value – especially compared to competitors. I highly recommend Litigation Ready for anyone looking for outstanding service and results.”

As we seek to grow our footprint in the UK, US and Singapore, we welcome referrals from our customers to any international colleagues who might benefit from trying out our products.

Introducing the Legal Ready online training hub

Learn at your own pace with our library of training videos, designed to help you get the most out of every Legal Ready product. Stay tuned – the Litigation Ready Certification Module is coming soon!

Let’s keep improving, together

All of our product updates are already live in your online account. If you’d like a guided walkthrough, or have feedback on what we should build next, please get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.

Your feedback powers every improvement. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

P.S. As we continue to grow internationally, Legal Ready welcomes expressions of interest from qualified customers (sophisticated investors) who are interested in investing in and supporting our journey. For further information, please contact tony.kinnear@legalready.ai
