TrialView
TrialView is an AI dispute resolution platform covering a contested matter from bundle preparation to hearing presentation. It is used for litigation, arbitration, mediation, adjudication, tribunals, large investigations, regulatory hearings and statutory inquiries. Its main design choice is to bring law firms, barristers, judges and arbitral bodies into one secure workspace rather than serving one side. Court bundles are built automatically with OCR, date recognition, pagination, tabbing, bookmarking, indexing, cross referencing and hyperlinked indexes, with built in court compliance checks.
AI case preparation builds hyperlinked timelines and chronologies tied to source documents, spots patterns and inconsistencies across witness statements, depositions and messages, and answers plain language questions with sourced references. Witness interviews can be recorded, transcribed and turned into a first draft statement linked to cited evidence. Hearing services combine evidence presentation synchronized across devices, video conferencing with breakout rooms, and real time transcription with live markup, while the AI flags material that supports or undermines a proposition as evidence comes in.
The vendor says it is used across UK and Irish courts, including the Commercial Court, the Business and Property Courts and the Technology and Construction Court, and by the ICC, IAC and DDRC arbitral institutions.

AI Centrality
How much of the product is actually AI. Whether the machine learning is the mechanism the buyer is paying for or a feature layered onto conventional software, and whether the vendor is specific about which is which.
The models run through the product without being what makes it work. Take the AI out and a complete trial platform remains: court compliant bundling with OCR, pagination, indexing and cross referencing, evidence presentation synchronized across devices, video conferencing and real time transcription. Those are what courts actually buy it for, and none needs a model. What the AI adds is real and spans the whole lifecycle: timelines and chronologies tied to source documents, detection of patterns and inconsistencies across witness statements and depositions, plain language questions over the document set, transcript analysis, and live flagging during a hearing of material that supports or undermines a proposition. A mature platform hosts the model layer rather than depending on it.
Citation Accuracy and Hallucination Disclosure
Whether the vendor publishes measured accuracy on citations and assertions, grounds output to primary sources, and says plainly what its system does when it does not know. Legal has a documented public record of fabricated citations reaching filed briefs, so an untested claim of accuracy is not evidence.
Grounding is claimed throughout, and nothing behind it is published. The vendor says questions over the document set return sourced references, timelines are directly backed by source documents, and draft witness statements link automatically to cited evidence. This is the easier case. The source material is the closed case file, not the law, so a citation points to a document the user already holds and can open, and the risk is misattribution rather than invented authority.
No accuracy figure is published for inconsistency detection, no precision or recall for pattern finding, and no measure of how faithfully timelines are extracted. There is no statement on hallucination, no evaluation, and nothing on what the system does when the file does not support an answer. Inconsistencies flagged during a live hearing carry high stakes, and nothing published tells a barrister how often the flag is wrong.
Autonomy and Oversight Model
What the system decides on its own, what a lawyer must approve, and whether the vendor documents where the review point sits. A tool that drafts under review and a tool that files without one are different products and different risks.
The oversight is real but structural rather than stated. Output is consistently framed as suggestive rather than decisive: the AI identifies material that corroborates or undermines propositions, surfaces inconsistencies and proposes timelines, while the advocate marks up, annotates, tags and decides. Witness statement generation is explicitly a first draft. A legally qualified support team is stated to be available 24 hours a day through the dispute process, which is human oversight resourced with people who understand the work.
None of it is published as a model: no statement of where the system acts without review, no confidence indication, no escalation behavior, and no description of what the AI does unattended during a live hearing while attention is on the witness. The naming of a first draft carries the assumption of review without ever stating it.
Operational and Outcome Evidence
Named, dated evidence that the product works in production at real firms or legal departments. Case studies with figures and identified customers count. Unattributed testimonials and launch announcements do not.
Adoption by courts and tribunals is well evidenced. Named UK courts: the Commercial Court, the Business and Property Courts and the Technology and Construction Court, with wide use stated across UK and Irish courts. Named arbitral institutions: the ICC, the IAC and the DDRC, for which the vendor is described as a trusted provider of connected hearing services in domestic and international arbitration. It names one case, the Russian Aviation litigation, as well as large investigations, regulatory hearings and statutory inquiries.
Outside recognition is dated and checkable: Digital Evidence Management Software of the Year at the 2025 LegalTech Breakthrough Awards, and recognition at The Lawyer Awards. No law firm or chambers is named, no usage volume is published, and no outcome is measured, whether hearing time saved, bundle preparation time or error reduction. The evidence shows that serious forums use it, not what happens when they do.
Privilege and Confidentiality Posture
How client confidences are handled: attorney client privilege and work product treatment, segregation of one client matter from another, whether client data trains any model, and what the vendor commits to in writing rather than in marketing.
Access control is claimed, and the hardest confidentiality question this product raises is left unanswered. The vendor states user permissions and encryption, secure cloud storage, and selective sharing with colleagues, counsel, witnesses, solicitors, clients or third parties. Those are real controls, and the sharing model is described in the right terms. The open question is built into the product. It brings law firms, barristers, judges and arbitral bodies into one workspace, so in a contested hearing opposing parties and the tribunal work inside the same system.
Nothing published describes how one side's privileged working materials, annotations, private markup and saved copy of proceedings are kept apart from the other side or the tribunal. No treatment of legal professional privilege or work product was found.
UPL and Professional Responsibility Posture
Whether the vendor is clear that it supplies a tool rather than legal advice, who its audience is, and how it addresses unauthorized practice of law, competence and supervision duties, and jurisdiction limits. ABA Formal Opinion 512 is the reference point. Where the advice line is not the duty a product raises, the axis is read through the nearest professional duty it does raise: judicial conduct rules and the reviewing duty for products sold only to courts, and the duty to bill for time actually spent for products that draft time entries.
Not located. The product generates first draft witness statements from recorded interviews and produces analysis presented in live proceedings, and the buyer set includes judges and arbitral institutions as well as advocates. Nothing published addresses the professional responsibility framing of any of that: no statement on the advocate's duty to verify AI identified inconsistencies before putting them to a witness, no positioning on machine drafted witness evidence, and no engagement with Bar Council, Law Society, Law Society of Ireland or judicial guidance on AI in proceedings.
The gap is notable because the vendor supplies both advocate and tribunal, which is exactly the configuration professional guidance addresses.
AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
Published governance over model behavior: who owns it inside the vendor, what is tested before release, and what is disclosed about disparate output across matter types, parties, or populations.
Nothing published. No AI policy, no evaluation methodology, no bias or fairness assessment, no accuracy monitoring, no drift statement, no model card, no named governance body and no external standard such as ISO 42001. The specific risk left unaddressed: a system that flags inconsistencies in witness statements and identifies material undermining propositions is making adversarial judgments about credibility, and any systematic tendency in how it does that would operate inside live proceedings without anyone being able to inspect it.
AI Safety and Data Stewardship
Retention, deletion, access control, and what happens to prompts and documents after they are processed. Whether the vendor states its subprocessors and its incident practice, or leaves the buyer to assume.
No position on stewardship of AI data was found. General controls are stated: secure cloud storage, user permissions and encryption. Nothing covers the model layer. Nothing says whether case documents, transcripts, recorded witness interviews or hearing material are used to train or improve any model, how long AI output and queries are kept, whether processing is separated by matter, or what happens to a case file after proceedings end.
This product takes in recorded witness interviews and complete litigation files, which is highly sensitive content, and its training and retention position is not published.
AI Liability and Recourse
What the vendor stands behind contractually when its output is wrong. Indemnities, caps, carve outs, insurance, and whether any of it is published or only reachable through a negotiated agreement.
No published position located. Nothing was found on liability for AI output, warranty, indemnity, service levels or remedy. Two failure modes make the absence concrete rather than formal: an AI identified inconsistency that is wrong and gets put to a witness in cross examination, and a bundle compliance or pagination failure at hearing, since court compliant bundling is the operational spine of the product and a defective bundle has immediate consequences in front of a judge. No service level commitment is published for a platform used live in court.
Practice Systems Integration Depth
How deeply the product reaches into the systems legal work already lives in: document management such as iManage and NetDocuments, Word and Outlook, contract lifecycle management, matter management, e-billing, and court filing systems.
Integration is real inside the hearing and absent outside it. Documented: video conferencing with breakout rooms, real time transcription feeds shown in the platform with AI analysis over them, speech to text for witness interviews, and evidence presentation synchronized across devices in the hearing room. Bringing a live transcript feed and evidence display into one synchronized environment is real integration work, and it is the core of a hearing provider's job.
Nothing public covers the rest: no named document management system, no practice or case management integration, no connector for an ediscovery platform where review happened elsewhere, and no API or export documentation beyond court bundle output. A firm cannot tell how material reaches the platform from the systems where it already sits.
Deployment Model and Data Residency
Where the software runs and where the data sits. Multi tenant cloud, single tenant, private deployment, on premises, and whether region of residence is a published option or an enterprise conversation.
Cloud storage is stated and nothing else. The vendor says data is stored securely on cloud servers accessible anywhere, which names no provider, region or residency commitment, and describes no single tenant, dedicated or on premises option. Residency matters for this product. It serves UK and Irish courts and international arbitral institutions including the ICC, so material from proceedings in several jurisdictions sits on one platform in undisclosed locations, and a tribunal or party may have residency rules of its own. A dedicated security features page linked from the site was not read and may give residency detail.
Security Certifications and Trust Center
Independent attestation a buyer can pull without a sales call: SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration test summaries, a trust center with current reports and named scope rather than a badge image.
Controls are claimed, a dedicated security page exists, and no certification was found. The site claims secure cloud servers, user permissions, encryption and a secure workspace throughout. A separate security features page is linked from the product pages, which suggests deliberate attention to the subject. Searches combining the vendor name with ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials and GDPR certification found no certification, attestation, auditor or trust portal. The security features page itself was not read. It could show certifications or confirm there are none.
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
Which models sit underneath, whose they are, where they run, and whether the vendor commits to telling customers when that changes. A legal buyer inherits every dependency it cannot see.
Nothing was found. No model provider is named, nothing separates proprietary from third party models, no subprocessor list exists, and the transcription and speech to text features are not attributed to any provider, though they almost certainly involve one. The vendor refers to the latest AI capabilities and intelligent technology without naming anything. For a platform used by courts and arbitral institutions, a tribunal may need to know who processed evidence in a case. The identity of the model and transcription providers matters procedurally, and public sources do not answer it.
Commercial Transparency
Whether a buyer can learn what this costs without entering a sales process: published rates, the unit being charged, what sits behind an enterprise tier, and what implementation adds.
No pricing at any level. No price, no range, no tier structure, and no unit of charge, which matters here because the plausible units are all different in kind: per matter, per hearing day, per user, per gigabyte of evidence, or per bundle. A litigation team cannot estimate the cost of a three week trial from anything published. Every route is a demo request. Independent software directories list pricing as available on request and carry no figure either. Checked the home page, the product overview and the site navigation. It is an absence a buyer cannot work around.
Firm and Practice Coverage
Who the product is actually built for. AmLaw, midlaw, small firm and solo, in house departments, government and courts, and which practice areas are supported rather than merely claimed.
Forum coverage is stated in specific terms, and user types are listed. Proceedings named: litigation, arbitration, mediation, adjudication, conciliation, tribunals, depositions, large investigations, regulatory hearings and statutory inquiries. Forums named: the Commercial Court, the Business and Property Courts and the Technology and Construction Court in the UK, with wide use stated across UK and Irish courts, plus the ICC, IAC and DDRC arbitral institutions and international arbitration generally.
Users named: paralegals, partners, counsel, barristers, solicitors, arbitrators, judges and arbitral bodies. Coverage is described rather than listed in full. There is no list of courts where the platform is available, no statement of limits outside the UK, Ireland and international arbitration, and nothing on whether the AI features are available in every forum.

Client Data in Training
Read Aug 29, 2026
Legal Signals
What each signal meansA signal records what public sources say on the date shown. It is not a grade and it is not a recommendation. Where a signal reads Not addressed, it means the index did not locate the material in public sources on that date, which is a statement about disclosure rather than about the product.
Client Data in Training
Can material a lawyer puts into this product be used to train a model?
A published agreement or policy exists and none of it addresses the question either way, or the document that would answer it could not be read and the summary names the retrieval limit. The summary states which shape the silence takes: an improvement right granted that never names training, or no improvement right granted at all.
Silent. The published data handling statement covers access control and encryption, not model training. Nothing was found either way on whether case documents, transcripts, recorded witness interviews or hearing material are used to train or improve any model. The content at stake is highly sensitive: complete litigation files, recorded witness interviews and live proceedings. Checked the home page, case management page, case preparation page, hearing services page, AI litigation page and product overview on 29 Aug 2026. A dedicated security features page exists on the site and was not read.
Prompt and Output Retention
How long does the product keep what a lawyer typed, and can that be set to zero?
No located public material states how long prompts and outputs are retained.
Not addressed. No retention period is published for AI queries over the document set, generated timelines, transcript analysis or draft witness statements, and nothing states what happens to a case workspace once proceedings conclude. Retention is a live question in this product's own terms: the vendor states that a user can preserve their own digital copy of proceedings, which is retention as a feature, and says nothing about the vendor side duration.
Checked the case management page, the hearing services page, the case preparation page and the product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Ethical Walls and Matter Segregation
Does retrieval respect the firm’s ethical walls, or can the model read across them?
Segregation is asserted in public materials with no published detail on how it is enforced.
A permission model is claimed but not documented, and here that matters a great deal. The vendor states user permissions and secure sharing with colleagues, counsel, witnesses, solicitors, clients or any third party, so a permission model exists. Nothing explains how it works. The product's defining feature is that law firms, barristers, judges and arbitral bodies share one workspace, so in a contested hearing opposing parties and the tribunal are inside the same platform.
No published material describes how one party's privileged annotations, private markup and saved copy of proceedings are walled off from the other side or the bench. There is no document management system to inherit permissions from, so the platform must run its own model, and that model is not published. Checked the case management page, hearing services page, case preparation page and product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Third Party Request and Subpoena Notice
If someone subpoenas the vendor for a firm’s data, does the firm hear about it first?
No located term or policy addresses third party requests for customer data.
Not addressed. No clause on government or law enforcement requests, no commitment to notify a customer before producing its data, and no transparency report was found. The question has a particular edge here, because the vendor holds material from live proceedings for courts and arbitral institutions as well as for parties, so a request could come from a body that is also a customer. Checked the home page, the case management page, the product overview and the site navigation on 29 Aug 2026.
Primary Law Corpus Provenance
Where does the law in this product come from, and does the vendor have the right to use it?
No located public material identifies the corpus behind the product’s answers.
Not addressed, and largely inapplicable in the usual sense. This product has no primary law corpus: the AI operates over the parties' own evidence, bundles, transcripts and witness statements rather than over published authority, so there is no external legal source to name, license or date. The underlying question still applies here, namely what collection the models were built or tuned on, and that is not published.
Nothing states whether models are general purpose, trained on legal material, or tuned on prior customer matters, the last being the possibility that would matter most to a litigant. Checked the AI litigation page, the case preparation page, the case management page and the product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Good Law Verification
Does the product tell you when the authority it just cited has been overruled?
No located public material addresses whether authority is checked for subsequent history.
Not addressed, and not applicable to this product. TrialView analyzes the evidence in a case rather than researching the law, so its output contains no legal authority for a citator to check. The product does not do that work, so there is nothing for the vendor to document. Checked the AI litigation page, the case preparation page and the product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Refusal and Uncertainty Behavior
What does the product do when the answer is not in the corpus?
No located public material addresses what the product does when it cannot ground an answer.
Not addressed. No explicit no answer path, abstention behavior or confidence signal is documented for question answering over the document set, for inconsistency detection or for timeline construction. The consequence is specific to live proceedings: during a hearing the platform surfaces material said to corroborate or undermine a proposition in real time, and nothing published tells an advocate whether a weak match is presented with the same confidence as a strong one, or whether the system will decline to surface anything at all when the evidence does not support the proposition being tested.
Checked the AI litigation page, the hearing services page, the case preparation page and the product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Fabricated Citation Record
Does a public court record exist addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations in output from this product?
No court order, opinion or disciplinary record addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations produced by this product has been located as of the date shown. This is a statement about the public record on that one subject, not a finding about the product, and this signal is not a litigation history.
None located, with the instrument named. General web searches combining the vendor name with court, judgment, order, sanction and fabricated evidence terms returned nothing on 29 Aug 2026. No named docket database or court record tracker was searched in the UK, Ireland or elsewhere. The exposure shape differs from a research product: this system does not generate citations to legal authority, so the classic fabricated case failure mode does not apply, and the analogous risk would be a mis-cited or misattributed document reference within a bundle. Recorded as a statement about what this search found, not as a clearance.
Bar Guidance Alignment
Has the vendor engaged in public with the ethics opinions its buyers are bound by?
No located public material engages with bar or ethics guidance.
Not addressed. No named guidance from the Bar Council, the Law Society, the Law Society of Ireland, the Bar of Ireland or any judicial practice direction on AI use in proceedings was located, and no ethics material of any kind appears on the surfaces a buyer would check. The absence stands out because the vendor supplies courts and arbitral institutions directly, and judicial guidance on AI in litigation is exactly the framework its own customers operate under. Checked the home page, the AI litigation page, the product overview and the site navigation on 29 Aug 2026.
Billing and Fee Posture
Does the vendor address what happens to the bill when the work takes an hour instead of six?
Public materials claim time savings without addressing billing or disclosure, and the product sits inside a fee relationship between a lawyer and a client where those savings would change the bill.
Savings claims only. The vendor states that the platform reduces administrative workload, cuts manual document preparation time, and allows teams to spend more time on case strategy and less on manual tasks, saving resources. Those describe the firm's own time and no figure is attached to any of them. Nothing appears on the client's side of the equation: no position on billing for AI assisted preparation, no time or audit record a firm could produce to a client, and no guidance on how machine assisted bundling or analysis should be recorded on a bill. Checked the case management page, the home page, the case preparation page and the product overview on 29 Aug 2026.
Outside Counsel Guideline Readiness
Can a firm get this vendor through a client’s AI clause without a bespoke negotiation?
No located public material supports a client side disclosure obligation.
Not addressed. No subprocessor list, named model or transcription provider, data processing agreement, trust center or self serve route to request documents was found, so a firm has nothing to forward to its client. General claims of encryption and user permissions are not a disclosure a firm can pass on. Checked the case management page, the home page, the product overview and the site navigation on 29 Aug 2026. The security features page was not read and may say more.
Court Disclosure Support
If a judge’s standing order requires an AI disclosure, can the product produce one?
Some elements of the record are available, short of a document level export.
The source trail is strong, because the product is built around showing where things came from. Court bundles carry automatic pagination, indexing, bookmarking, hyperlinked indexes and cross referencing, with built in compliance checks. Timelines are said to be backed by source documents, draft witness statements link to cited evidence, answers return sourced references, and a user can keep an annotated digital copy of proceedings.
A party can show what a proposition rests on and where it sits in the bundle. What is missing is the AI part a standing order on AI use would ask for. Nothing records which outputs were machine generated, no model is named or logged against an output, and no record shows that an advocate checked an inconsistency the AI flagged before using it. The product documents the evidence thoroughly and its own involvement not at all.
