Built around the work of litigation
A new medical record. A changed hearing date. A settlement demand. A client waiting for an answer. Every development creates work—and every matter competes for your attention.
For litigation firms and practicing attorneys, the challenge extends beyond knowing the law. It is keeping the facts, preparation, communication, and follow-through aligned across an entire caseload.
TRACE is designed to bring those demands together in one attorney-directed operating system. The goal: more time focused on the substance of your cases, with less spent piecing together what happened and what comes next.
Why TRACE
Lost time. Scattered information. Work that waits for someone to remember it. TRACE is being designed around the daily friction that takes attorneys away from their cases and limits a firm’s capacity.
Calls, emails, drafting, and preparation fill the day. When time entries wait until later, attorneys must reconstruct their work—and completed work can be overlooked.
How TRACE is designed to helpPrepare contemporaneous time entries from completed work, ready for the attorney to edit and approve while the details are still fresh.
The latest facts may be buried in an email, an attachment, a filing, or a colleague’s notes. Understanding where a matter stands becomes a search through disconnected information.
How TRACE is designed to helpBring case history, recent developments, and outstanding work into a connected matter context so attorneys can return to a case with a clearer picture.
A request arrives, priorities shift, and the next step gets buried. Across a busy caseload, even routine follow-through can become difficult to track.
How TRACE is designed to helpConnect new developments to the work they create and keep outstanding actions visible, helping attorneys maintain follow-through as cases change.
A hearing or deposition approaches, but the relevant facts, recent records, and unresolved issues still need to be pulled together. Preparation starts with rebuilding the file.
How TRACE is designed to helpKeep matter context connected to preparation, giving attorneys a more organized starting point for hearings, depositions, trials, and settlement discussions.
Substantive updates take time when the attorney first has to reconstruct what happened. Communication can slip while urgent work competes for attention.
How TRACE is designed to helpSupport timely, case-grounded updates and correspondence prepared for attorney review, making it easier to keep clients informed.
Drafting a new document or returning to a matter can mean rereading records and rebuilding the same chronology. Repeated work consumes time and makes continuity harder.
How TRACE is designed to helpCarry relevant case context into drafting and preparation, giving attorneys a consistent foundation for work product as the matter develops.
For the firm, the goal is greater capacity, more consistent client service, and more complete capture of work performed. For the attorney, it is more time and attention for the substance of the case.
Attorney-directed by design
Litigation requires judgment, accountability, and a clear understanding of the case. Those responsibilities belong to the attorney.
TRACE is designed to support that responsibility with better context and prepared work for review. The attorney directs strategy, reviews work product, approves time entries, and controls consequential external actions.
The purpose is to give litigators more capacity to exercise their judgment throughout the day—and a more organized foundation for doing so.
Founder, TRACE
TRACE is based on the litigation workflow Marcus uses in his own practice. Its design grows out of how he organizes matters, responds to new developments, prepares for proceedings, communicates with clients, and captures completed work.
As a practicing litigation attorney, Marcus conceived TRACE to bring that practical approach into an AI-powered system for other litigators. The product design starts with the demands of an active caseload and the way the work actually gets done.
TRACE is at the pre-build stage, with a detailed product design and development plan. We welcome conversations with litigation firms, prospective partners, and investors who share the vision. Connect with Marcus to discuss what comes next.
For investors
Litigators manage an evolving caseload across emails, documents, deadlines, and billing systems. Keeping that work connected takes time and attention that could be focused on the cases themselves.
Our vision is an AI-powered legal operating system that brings matter context, preparation, communication, and time capture together—with the attorney in control.
TRACE is at the pre-build stage, with a detailed product design and development plan grounded in a practicing attorney’s workflow. We are seeking investment and strategic partners to help bring that vision to life.
