Litigation delays don’t just create stress — they create risk.
Missed deadlines. Disjointed updates. Case files buried in inboxes or folders. These aren’t just operational hiccups — they’re liabilities.
And the solution isn’t necessarily more software. It may be making better use of what you already have.
At LegalCloud, we help legal teams streamline their litigation workflows using the platforms they already trust: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
Here are five ways to reduce delays, stay organised, and move cases forward with confidence — all within your existing environment.
1. Standardise How Cases Are Opened
Inconsistent intake is one of the biggest causes of early delays. Details get lost when requests come through email, chat, or conversations, and tracking becomes impossible.
Instead, create a clear, standardised path for opening new matters — with defined inputs, routing logic, and visibility from day one.
🔎 Benefit: Faster triage, fewer missed details, and a running start on every case.
2. Assign Work with Built-In Visibility
Once a case begins, delays often stem from unclear ownership. Who’s reviewing? Who’s drafting? What’s due next?
With structured, shared task lists tied to each matter, you can assign responsibilities, set deadlines, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
📋 Benefit: Everyone knows what they’re accountable for — and when it’s due.
3. Use Smart Reminders That Follow the Case
Reminders are only helpful if they’re timely and tied to real case progress.
With LegalCloud, your system can automatically surface deadlines based on key events — like a filing date, hearing notice, or internal handoff.
⏰ Benefit: No need to chase dates manually. The system works for you.
4. Centralise Case Files With Context
Case materials should live in one place — with the right context, structure, and access control.
LegalCloud organises your litigation files around each matter, with status tracking, permission control, and full visibility across the legal team.
📁 Benefit: No more digging. Just open the case file and get to work.
5. Make Litigation Performance Measurable
What’s slowing your team down? Where are bottlenecks forming? How are different case types performing?
With built-in reporting dashboards, you get clear answers, not guesses.
📊 Benefit: Continuous improvement, backed by real data, not anecdote.
Conclusion
Litigation moves fast. Your systems should, too.
LegalCloud helps legal teams avoid delays and stay in control, without leaving Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. No new software. No new logins. Just smarter, faster litigation workflows built around the way you already work.
