Caseform — AI-powered legal preparation, simplified
AI-powered legal preparation, simplified.
Caseform is building tools for two halves of the same problem: the mechanical work of assembling a case, and the preparation of the people who will give evidence in it.
Both are done late, under pressure, by people whose time would be better spent on judgement.
We are in private development. Leave an email address and we will write to you once access opens.
What we are working on
Two halves of the same problem
We are building for solicitors and counsel, for the experts they instruct, and for the organisations — public sector and private — that have to put witnesses before a court, a tribunal or an inquiry.
-
01
Preparing the case
Assembling the papers, building the chronology, checking that the documents agree with one another. Necessary work, largely mechanical, and almost always done under time pressure by the people least able to spare it.
-
02
Preparing the witness
Giving evidence is a skill. Most people who have to do it — including experts who do it often — get very little rehearsal, and no reliable way to find out where their account is weak before someone else finds out for them.
How we are building it
Four commitments we are designing against
-
01
Preparation, not advice
Caseform is being built to organise, assemble and check. Decisions about the law stay with the person responsible for them.
-
02
Anchored to the record
Anything the system produces should be traceable back to the document it came from, so it can be checked rather than trusted.
-
03
Confidentiality by design
Case papers are among the most sensitive material anyone handles. That constraint shapes the architecture from the start rather than being added afterwards.
-
04
Built by people who do the work
The product is being designed around the preparation practitioners actually do, by someone who has done it.
Who is behind it
Richard Ryan
Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Caseform AI Limited. LL.B. (Hons), LL.M., M.A., Barrister.
Richard Ryan is a practising barrister, accredited mediator and chartered arbitrator in independent practice. He started Caseform because the preparation that surrounds a case — assembling the papers, building the chronology, and getting the people who will give evidence ready to give it — takes time that would be better spent on the questions that actually decide the case.
Caseform AI Limited is a technology company. It is not a firm of solicitors or barristers, is not authorised or regulated by the Bar Standards Board or the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and does not provide legal advice or legal services. Any legal services Richard Ryan provides are provided in his separate practice as a barrister and not through Caseform AI Limited.
