E-bundling has emerged as a game-changer for the legal industry, allowing litigators to create, edit and share documents securely and efficiently, according to Bundledocs.

As the legal industry continues to shift away from using paper files, electronic bundle creation and delivery processes are continually improving. E-bundles can help to save time while also providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional practises. For litigators, the benefits when it comes to creating and producing bundles are endless. Documents can be securely shared to anyone, regardless of location. Utilising e-bundles is suitable for any court setting, including within the practice of family law.

Collaboration

With hybrid work continuing to be prominent among firms, being in the same place as your team at the same time can be difficult. Through using e-bundling software, the time-consuming process of bundle preparation can be reduced when preparing documents for hearings. By working from one bundle, changes can be captured instantly, ensuring there is no need to start each bundle from scratch, saving time when working towards tight deadlines.

Enhanced Efficiency

When it comes to preparing documents for court, there are a lot of variables that can change at the last minute. By using e-bundling software, litigators can create and edit high-volume documents efficiently, ensuring that the most up-to-date document is court-ready. With the option to automatically number, hyperlink, index and bookmark bundles, litigators can also edit bundles from phones, tablets and laptops, meaning that changes can be made on the go.

Compliance

With the emergence of e-bundles, the courts have amended their general guidance on electronic court bundles, ensuring “a level of consistency.” Guidance rules state that all bundles must now be provided in PDF format, and pages must be numbered by computer-generated numbering. If there are any last-minute changes that need to be made shortly before a hearing, litigators can add additional documents at the last minute before generating a new version with numbering automatically updated. There is also the option to generate your bundle with just the late inserts that are required – rather than the entire bundle, which can then be shared with the court prior to a hearing.            

Each court has separate requirements, and it is important to research the court’s directions regarding digital delivery.

Regardless of if you are a small practice or global law firm, abiding by these tips will ensure success when creating e-bundles. By utilising e-bundles, firms can be fully operational from anywhere at any time while increasing their efficiency and reliability. So, why not start e-bundling now?
