Litigation Management: Controlling lawsuits without risky spreadsheets

To manage litigation (lawsuits), modern companies use visual platforms like Jestor, Lawmatics, and Clio — they allow controlling critical deadlines, provisioning financial risks, and monitoring case progress on a Kanban board, abandoning insecure spreadsheets.

The danger of missing a deadline

In Law, missing a deadline is fatal. An Excel spreadsheet doesn't send a push notification to the lawyer's phone saying "Defense deadline expires tomorrow." Furthermore, the CFO needs to know: "How much money do we need to reserve for potential legal losses this year?" Without a system, this answer is a guess.

Structuring Litigation in Jestor

  1. Case Kanban: Visualize cases by phase (Initial > Hearing > Judgment > Appeal).
  2. Deadline Management: Connect Jestor to Google Calendar. Create automatic alerts (SLA) for 3 days before the deadline.
  3. Financial Provisioning: Classify each lawsuit as "Probable," "Possible," or "Remote" risk. Jestor sums the values and generates the report for Finance automatically.

"Legacy" systems are focused on registration. Jestor is focused on flow. You can automate actions: "When Judgment is issued, create a task for Finance to pay the settlement or appeal deposit."
