Built for trial lawyers

by a trial lawyer

Tired of using legal technology built by people who have never set foot in a courtroom? Align was built by a law firm partner who spent two decades trying cases and managing complex litigation. We understand trial preparation because we have lived it.

Effective organization

Not having the document you need when you need it means lost time and productivity. With Align, you always have the right binder at the right time.

Modern presentation

Present directly from your iPad at depositions, hearings, and trial. Pull up any document instantly. Share materials with opposing counsel or the court.

Efficient preparation

Reduce non-billable costs. End printing, shipping and shredding expenses. Stop trying to justify endless hours manually building, updating, and distributing binders.

Casewide collaboration

Litigate as a team. A paralegal updates the binder in the office. An associate highlights it at home. A partner reads it on the train to a client meeting.

“Align finally made it possible for me to have

a truly paperless practice.”
