What Should Your File Contain?

Your file should contain contracts, correspondence (emails and messages), any legal notices you have received, and a list of the parties involved in the dispute.

Artificial intelligence helps you categorize these documents rather than leaving them in a disorganized pile.

Start by arranging them chronologically, then by subject. LegalBot can help you read the contents of each document to make categorization easier.
