How AI is Shaping Litigation Support in 2025

Litigation support has historically been a complex, manual, and time-consuming function within law firms. From managing voluminous discovery materials to preparing trial exhibits, the process demands both speed and accuracy under pressure. In 2025, AI is stepping in—not to replace legal professionals—but to supercharge their capabilities.

The Bottleneck in Discovery

One of the most resource-draining parts of litigation support is document review during discovery. Legal teams often sift through tens of thousands of pages looking for facts, timelines, or smoking-gun communications. With AI-powered tools like ValorPlus, firms can automate the intake, classification, and summarization of these documents—surfacing relevant materials in seconds, not hours.

Summarization That Actually Saves Time

Legacy tools provide OCR and basic keyword search, but AI summarization now allows teams to understand the essence of a document instantly. A deposition transcript? Summarized into key themes and witness assertions. Email threads? Condensed into a chain of relevant claims and disputes. With less time spent reading, more time can be spent preparing strategy.

Tagging and Organization for Trial-Readiness

AI doesn’t just read documents—it organizes them. ValorPlus lets attorneys tag materials with legal issues, parties, or claims as they go, or have AI do it for them. That means a searchable, logically grouped archive ready to present, redact, or cite at a moment’s notice.

Smarter Search Means Smarter Strategy

Litigation strategy often comes down to what can be found, fast. ValorPlus enables contextual search, so lawyers can find documents based on legal relevance—not just matching words. Want to pull every item that mentions wrongful termination and retaliation in the same thread? Done.

The Result: Fewer All-Nighters, Better Outcomes

Litigation is still high-stakes. But AI-powered document tools reduce the administrative overhead and mental fatigue. Attorneys can now spend more time building arguments—and less time chasing paper trails.

For forward-thinking litigation teams, AI is no longer optional—it’s a competitive advantage.
