Legal teams are expected to make smart, timely decisions early in a matter, but that’s no easy task when cases involve massive datasets, complex issues, and urgent deadlines. Traditional early case assessment (ECA) tools and manual processes often fail to keep up, leaving teams struggling to access the insight they need to move forward strategically.   

In this upcoming HaystackID® webcast, legal and technology experts will discuss the growing challenges around early matter intelligence, including: 

  • Finding the facts that matter in large, unstructured data.
  • Surfacing privilege and key issues earlier in the timeline.
  • Meeting deadlines for investigations, audits, and regulatory requests.

The experts will share how teams can use generative AI (GenAI) tools to streamline and strengthen ECA, helping them quickly organize data, spot patterns, and take action.
