The challenge for solo litigators and small firms
Whether you're a solo litigator or part of a small law firm, you wear many hats – juggling case strategy, client communication, and endless administrative tasks. Hours spent manually reviewing documents and building case timelines mean less time for the work that truly matters. And when you’re on a flat fee or contingency model, every extra minute spent on prep directly cuts into your profit.

The time drain of manual preparation
Without automation, prepping for a hearing can take 3 hours or more. Imagine spending time:
Reading through hundreds of pages of documents
Extracting key facts manually
Building detailed case timelines
Verifying every detail for accuracy
All that manual work leaves you with less time for legal strategy and client engagement – and directly impacts your bottom line.
Gravix delivers instant, tailored output
Gravix replaces hours of manual prep with immediate, customized reports. Here’s how it works:
Automated analysis: Upload your case files and let Gravix scan and extract key events, dates, names, and relationships in minutes.
Tailored reports: Receive a complete, case-specific summary – written exactly how you need it – so you’re fully prepped for the hearing.
Enhanced efficiency: Cut prep time by up to 75%, saving costs and allowing you to focus on higher-value legal work.
One small firm reported a 75% reduction in prep time – a saving of $300,000 a year – all while improving client communication and service.
The bottom line
