How Project Fortress is Transforming Litigation

Litigation has always been about complexity. Every case generates mountains of documents, countless arguments, and endless coordination between attorneys, clients, and specialists. Traditionally, managing all of this has meant juggling disconnected tools—email, shared drives, spreadsheets, research databases—leaving litigators reactive rather than proactive.

Project Fortress was designed to change that. By bringing litigation management, knowledge, and AI into a single platform, Fortress gives litigators a system for organization, collaboration, and strategy like never before.

A Playbook for Every Case

At the center of Fortress litigation is the Litigation Playbook. Each case is organized into structured workstreams:

• Motions and Briefs

• Pleadings

• Discovery

• Legal Research

• Case Strategy

Instead of scattered files and notes, attorneys can see the full picture of a matter in one place. Work product is tied directly to the relevant motion, discovery request, or strategic memo. And because Fortress integrates with iManage and NetDocs, all documents connect seamlessly into the workflows attorneys already use.

Knowledge at Your Fingertips

Litigators rely heavily on precedent and prior research—but too often that knowledge is buried in folders, emails, or individual memories. Fortress changes that by making firm knowledge searchable, structured, and reusable.

Winning arguments, prior briefs, and research memos are captured as part of the case record. Over time, Fortress builds an organic knowledge base that compounds with each new matter. Attorneys no longer start from scratch—they start with the best of what the firm already knows.

AI That Thinks Like a Litigator

On top of the platform sits Fortress AI, a system of agentic AI workflows designed specifically for litigation:

• Argument Analyzer: Upload opposing counsel’s brief and Fortress AI deconstructs each argument, drafts rebuttals, and surfaces supporting authorities.

• Case Evaluator: Review the entire record and let AI draft a bench memo or opinion from the perspective of the judge weighing the merits.

• Discovery Generator: Create or respond to discovery requests using the facts and evidence already in the case file.

• Drafting Agent: Draft briefs, motions, and memos with embedded research and persuasive writing techniques.

Because Fortress AI is grounded in the structured data of the Fortress platform, it reduces hallucinations and produces outputs that reflect the context of the matter—not generic, out-of-the-box responses.

Collaboration Without Chaos

Litigation rarely happens in isolation. Clients, in-house counsel, and specialists all need visibility into the process. Fortress provides a shared environment where the entire team can work together:

• Interactive task lists and calendars keep deadlines visible.

• Secure communication channels (Slack and Chatter) keep everyone aligned.

• Updates flow automatically to the closing checklist and case playbook.

The result is less email, less confusion, and more collaboration.

From Reactive to Proactive

The biggest transformation Fortress brings to litigation is a shift in mindset. Instead of chasing documents and deadlines, litigators can:

• Anticipate arguments before they’re raised.

• Evaluate case strengths and weaknesses in real time.

• Focus on strategy rather than administration.

It’s a move from reactive case management to proactive litigation strategy.

The Future of Litigation

Litigation will always be complex—but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. With Project Fortress, attorneys have a system that structures cases, surfaces knowledge, enables collaboration, and layers AI on top to accelerate strategy and drafting.

For law firms, that means better outcomes for clients, more efficient use of attorney time, and a compounding knowledge advantage.

This is how Project Fortress is transforming litigation: not just managing cases, but elevating the way they’re fought and won.
