Documents & evidence
Case document management for pleadings, orders and vakalatnamas
Every case gets its own vault for pleadings, orders, annexures, vakalatnamas and certified copies. Mark exhibits, keep drafts from the Drafting Studio next to the filed versions, and find the right paper without opening five WhatsApp chats.
- One vault per case
- Exhibit marks on evidence
- Private storage, firm-only access
Problem vs solution
What changes with Legal Staff
The problem
Files scattered across bags, inboxes and chats
- The paper book is in the other officeThe physical file is wherever it was last used, and the soft copy is in someone’s email.
- Which version was filed?Drafts, corrected drafts and the filed copy all look alike once they are forwarded around.
- Vakalatnamas and certified copies go missingSmall documents that matter on the day are the easiest to misplace.
With Legal Staff
One vault per case, organised the way courts work
- Folders that match the filePetitions and pleadings, annexures, order sheets, vakalatnama and certified copies, each in its place inside the case.
- Evidence with exhibit marksRecord exhibit marks against evidence so the team refers to the same document the same way.
- Drafts beside filed copiesDrafting Studio templates, versions and DOCX/PDF exports live with the case, next to what was actually filed.

How it works
From first step to daily habit
Open the case
Every case has its own document vault from the moment it is created.
Upload what you have
Add petitions, replies, annexures, orders, vakalatnamas and certified copies to the right folder.
Mark the evidence
Record exhibit marks against evidence as the matter proceeds.
Draft in place
Start from a Drafting Studio template, keep versions and export to DOCX or PDF.
Share selectively
Share chosen documents with the client through the client portal; everything else stays inside the firm.
Who it’s for
Built for the way litigators work
Advocates who work from several places
Chamber, court and home: the case file is the same everywhere you sign in.
Chambers with clerks handling filings
Clerks upload the filed copies and certified copies; the advocate sees them in the case at once.
Firms with document-heavy matters
Commercial suits, company petitions and appeals with long records stay organised by folder and exhibit.
Frequently asked questions
What can I store in a case vault?
Pleadings, orders, annexures, vakalatnamas, certified copies and evidence, in common formats such as PDF, Word documents and images.
Who can see the documents?
Only members of your firm, according to their roles. Each firm’s data is isolated with row-level security, and storage is private.
Can I share documents with a client?
Yes. You can share selected documents through the client portal. Nothing is shared unless you choose it.
Does it replace certified copies?
No. A scan in the vault is for reference and preparation; courts and authorities still need certified copies where the rules require them.
Can I draft documents here?
Yes. The Drafting Studio has templates such as legal notice, section 138 notice, bail application, petition, written statement, reply, appeal, revision, affidavit and agreement, with versions and DOCX/PDF export.
Can the AI read the documents in the vault?
Yes. The AI Case Brain answers questions from the case’s documents with citations, for an advocate to review.
