Product Updates

A running log of the major features and improvements shipped to the SNT Counsel litigation platform.

Deeper Case Vault research

  • Full-document keynotes — long regulations and reports are distilled section by section, so principles from the body of a document surface alongside those from its summary.
  • Concept search — vault research finds passages by meaning as well as by exact words, so a question phrased differently from the source still lands on the right authority.
  • Self-healing vault — authorities that imported without keynotes or search coverage are picked up and completed automatically.
  • Missing-authorities list — anything Emma concludes is absent lands on a pull list on the Case Vault page, even when you ask her not to fetch it.

Emma grounds answers in the Case Vault

  • Legal analysis — Emma draws on the Case Vault so authorities you have already collected inform her reasoning alongside the record.
  • Standards and authorities — controlling standards come back ranked, with page-anchored links into regulations and guidance so you can land on the exact passage cited.
  • Coverage gaps — Emma tells you where the vault is thin on a point and can pull in public authority to fill it.
  • Document lookup — titles, captions, and subtitles are matched across case filings as well as regulations, reports, and guidance documents.

Visibility into long Emma runs

  • Long-running work — a delegated task shows its subject, whether it is still active, and how long it is expected to take.
  • Progress at a glance — you can check in on a run mid-flight and decide whether to wait, keep working elsewhere, or come back later.

Exhibits and transcript exports

  • Exhibit detection — exhibits referenced during a session are picked up from the transcript and matched by Bates number into the Exhibits panel.
  • Transcript exports — any skipped portion is called out visibly in the export so the record you hand over is unambiguous.
  • Re-export on demand — you can regenerate a session transcript yourself whenever the session has changed or you need a fresh copy.

New sources for review

  • SharePoint — connect a SharePoint tenant from the Integrations catalog and bring its content in for review.
  • Integrations catalog — browse available connections in one place and set up a source without help from support.
  • AI chat history — each conversation lands as a single reviewable document, so chat transcripts can be coded and searched like any other record.

Data rooms and deal terms

  • Folder permissions — access granted on a data-room folder governs what a party can open, delete, and find in search.
  • Data-room search — results respect each participant's permissions, so counterparties only see the material you have shared with them.
  • Deal Terms — edits are held as you type and committed when you move off a field, so long term sheets can be worked through in one pass.

Search replay and case intake

  • Audit trail — open any recorded search and replay it exactly as it was run, so you can reconcile a prior result set or defend a methodology.
  • Court case intake — capture the filed date and presiding judge when you add a matter, so chambers detail travels with the case record.

Search Term Reports and RFP coverage

  • Load an opposing party's term sheet from a spreadsheet, PDF, or Word file and get a full hit report with per-term negotiation verdicts.
  • Run what-if simulations that show exact document counts before you agree to drop or keep a term.
  • Compare your proposal against theirs side by side, export to Excel with a methodology sheet, and hand the final locked review population straight to Doc Review and production.
  • Overlay written RFP answers on a coverage matrix and click any Bates number to open the document in review.

Workroom and long-running research

  • Hand Emma a corpus-scale question and she works it as a background job, showing live progress, laps completed, cost against budget, and time remaining.
  • Approve a spend increase, pause, restart from a checkpoint, or stop a run at any point, with plain-English explanations whenever a run needs your input.
  • Runs survive deploys and browser refreshes, and finished work is saved as deliverables you can download, email, or file into Working Files.
  • Save a finished piece of work as a reusable skill or playbook and run it again on new documents.

Emma citations, sources, and skills

  • Citations jump to the exact quoted passage in the document, with the passage highlighted so surrounding text still reads through.
  • Cited documents open inline, in Doc Review, save to Working Files, or download without leaving the thread.
  • Scope a conversation to specific folders, custodians, production volumes, or court dockets so answers only draw on the sources you choose.
  • Emma tells you what has been uploaded since the conversation began and can hand over downloads and emailed documents directly in chat.

Document review at scale

  • Keyword searches return in under a second, with relevance ranking on by default.
  • Zero-result and filtered searches say exactly which filter caused the shortfall and offer one-click widening, and near-spellings are suggested for name-shaped terms.
  • Bates lookups now work on productions loaded without Bates metadata and tolerate zero-padding differences and slash-delimited case numbers.
  • Coding is safer with one-click privilege marking, conflict warnings when another reviewer has coded since you loaded, and Find Similar results pulled to the top of your queue.

Working Files explorer

  • A full file explorer for matter work product with nested folders, tree navigation, grid and tile views, drag-and-drop moves, cut and paste, rename, trash, and undo.
  • Preview any file without opening it — spreadsheets render as a grid, Office files and media play inline, and scanned documents show a searchable rendition.
  • Drop whole folders to upload, watch progress in a status center, and resume interrupted uploads.
  • Send any file straight to Emma, find similar documents, and browse saved and smart views.

Interviews, sessions, and trial

  • Prep Your Witness lets you upload your exact questions verbatim, attach court docket filings without re-uploading, and send invites instantly.
  • Recorded witness interviews get a full-page question-spine review with clip picking, evidence-grounded assessment scoring, and a follow-up interview builder.
  • A floating session pill keeps recording controls, a live caption ticker, and mic health visible from any page, including a pop-out always-on-top recorder.
  • New Mock Trial and Evidence Projection modes, plus a trial record and evidentiary rulings derived automatically from the day's transcript.

Attorneys-eyes-only fences and client sharing

  • Mark documents attorneys-eyes-only and they are fenced from Emma, search, deliverables, binders, and share links for anyone below the required assignment level.
  • Restricted matter-team members see In-house and Client badges, and administrators get a fence panel with a full audit trail.
  • Share a client thread by magic link into a full-screen workspace with live answers and PDF export, and jump into an active client conversation from Home.

Emma works in the background

  • Emma now produces finished deliverables — memos, spreadsheets, slide decks, and typeset PDFs — that land in your working files ready to download.
  • Long research runs continue in the background across all your matters, and you get an email when a run finishes or when Emma needs a decision from you.
  • Run several conversations at once from a redesigned chat panel with automatic topic titles, pinned chats, and inline renaming.
  • Emma recalls her prior chats and previously verified facts on the matter, and her access is always limited to the matters you can already see.

Deal chat and closing checks

  • Ask questions about a deal and all of its documents in a single chat surface.
  • Financial analysis, contract-term extraction, and search across every transaction in your portfolio are available directly from a deal.

Exhaustive matter-wide search

  • Ask a question and Emma sweeps the entire matter rather than a sample, reporting total match counts and cross-checking before reporting that nothing matched.
  • Searches automatically account for spelling variants, entity and fund name variations, and Bates numbers written with different separators.
  • When a search returns nothing useful, you now get concrete suggestions — simpler terms, a different mode, filename-only scope, or a cross-matter hint.
  • Clicking a citation in any finding jumps straight to the quoted passage with the text highlighted, and recent searches are one click away.

Productions, review, and docket sync

  • Import received productions from a much wider range of load-file formats, with Bates ranges, producing-party filters, real document dates, and an Ours / Received source filter.
  • Select documents in review and export them as a ZIP or compile them into a hyperlinked binder with a table of contents and per-document annotations.
  • Chat exports, text messages, spreadsheets, audio, and video now open in purpose-built viewers — chat threads, an Excel-like grid, and a media player with a synced, searchable transcript.
  • Court dockets can be watched live, with cost controls and automatic ingestion of new filings.

Living case report and authority vault

  • Build a case report through a guided interview, where nothing advances to a new edition without your explicit approval.
  • An authority vault ties legal principles to the opinions that support them, with redlines, party-keyed receipts, and a click-through opinion viewer.
  • Leave anchored comment threads with @mentions on any part of the report, and download authorities and sections to Word or PDF.
  • A proof pyramid maps every claim against each defendant, with an element-by-element dossier per party.

Witness hub and trial intelligence

  • Trial Intelligence has been redesigned around a case posture banner and deposition ledger, and client-ready session reports export to PDF or Word in one click.

Motion drafting workspace

  • Work an entire motion in a single workspace that opens with your deadline and case theory, then walks you through each step in plain language.
  • The assistant sweeps your case record before drafting, asks you the questions only you can answer, and shows you what still needs to be rebutted.
  • Authority research builds a reviewable pull-list, and every proposed citation can be weighted, overridden, or challenged before it reaches the draft.
