Contentious work, drafted for a litigator
The Litigation & Disputes Agent handles England and Wales contentious work: element-by-element claim charts, privilege-log review, disclosure triage, pre-action demand drafting, hearing prep, and skeleton sections. Pre-action correspondence is send-gated, and every output is a draft for a litigator.
The claim chart that holds up, drafted in hours.
Contentious work is built on element-by-element analysis, privilege review, and disclosure triage — careful, volume-heavy tasks where a missed element or a privileged document slipping into disclosure is costly. Pre-action correspondence has to be precise, and authorities have to be good law.
What goes wrong
- A claim element missed, leaving a gap a defendant will exploit
- A privileged document let into disclosure by mistake
- An overruled authority relied on in a skeleton, undermining the argument
From your question to a governed answer
Not a black box. Every step is visible, checkable, and governed. Here's exactly what happens when you use the Litigation & Disputes.
You set the dispute
The claim, the documents, the issue to prepare — a claim chart, a privilege review, a disclosure set, a pre-action demand, or a skeleton section.
The Jurisdiction Gatekeeper scopes it
The work is kept to England and Wales, so the right court's procedure and authorities apply and out-of-jurisdiction material is kept out.
The Planning Protocol sets the approach
Jurisdictions, authorities, and privilege concerns are mapped before any work runs.
The work runs
Claim charts map facts to each element; disclosure is triaged and privilege flagged; pre-action demands and skeleton sections are drafted from the issues and authorities.
Authorities are verified
The Legal Citation Verifier re-checks every case against BAILII and every statute on legislation.gov.uk, with a treatment signal so nothing overruled is relied on.
A draft goes to the litigator
Send-gated pre-action correspondence and drafted sections are held for a litigator to review, settle, and send.
Governance pipeline for every output
Every litigation & disputes output flows through the same three-stage pipeline.

Governance guarantee
The Jurisdiction Gatekeeper keeps the work to England and Wales, so the wrong court's procedure or authority never slips in, and pre-action demands are send-gated for a litigator. Every authority is re-checked against BAILII with a treatment signal — the output is a draft for a litigator, not a filing.
In practice
Real scenarios, real outcomes
How different roles in your firm would use the Litigation & Disputes — with specific scenarios and governed outcomes.
Scenario
Building a claim in a commercial dispute and needing the elements mapped to the evidence.
Governed outcome
An element-by-element claim chart with each element tied to the supporting facts and good-law authority, ready to settle.
Scenario
A large disclosure set needs triaging for relevance and privilege.
Governed outcome
A triaged set with privileged documents flagged and the basis for each call logged, the partner reviewing the calls rather than the whole set.
Scenario
A pre-action demand needs drafting before a claim is issued.
Governed outcome
A drafted letter of claim, send-gated for the litigator to settle and send, with every authority re-checked against BAILII.
What makes this different
Built for legal work, not relabelled for it
Element by element, traceable
Claim charts map every fact to the element it supports, with the authority behind it.
Privilege protected, demands send-gated
Disclosure triage flags privilege, and pre-action correspondence waits for a litigator.
Good-law authorities only
Every case carries a treatment signal, so nothing overruled reaches the skeleton.
Built on our own legal database
The Litigation & Disputes checks every output against BAILII, legislation.gov.uk, EUR-Lex, and our own legal database — a curated, constantly updated source we built in-house for faster checking. It's our own work, and it lets us cross-reference across jurisdictions in ways the public sources can't on their own.
Built-in governance

- Procedural references confirmed against the current rules
