Every allegation, legal claim, and factual inconsistency, extracted consistently across every pleading, every time.


The challenge

Complaints, answers, and counterclaims contain dense factual allegations, legal claims, remedies, and exhibits that litigation teams must rapidly extract, organize, and assess. Manual review under case pressure makes it easy to miss contradictory allegations, overlook counts, underestimate damages sought, or fail to identify the factual gaps that create the strongest defensive opportunities.


The solution

Apply the Pleadings Review Question List to a complaint, answer, or other pleading. Ask iManage extracts named parties and their roles, key dates and events, specific actions and omissions alleged, legal claims and counts, damages and relief sought, referenced instruments, contradictory allegations, and exhibit references, returning structured, citation-backed outputs so teams can map the case, identify vulnerabilities, and build motion practice and discovery strategy from a complete factual picture.
