Why firms switch
The business case for better chronologies
We’re on fixed recoverable costs
Most PI work in England and Wales is now fixed costs. Every hour your paralegal spends on manual chronology is margin you cannot recover. ChronoLaw reduces chronology time from days to minutes, and the savings go straight to your bottom line.
We need to handle more matters
Your paralegal can only manage so many active cases. If chronology-building drops from 8 hours to 30 minutes per case, that frees capacity for 4 to 5 additional matters every month without hiring.
We can’t afford to miss an entry
A missed date on page 347 of a medical bundle can undermine limitation arguments or leave gaps in your Scott Schedule. ChronoLaw processes every page and flags low-confidence entries for your review.

FAQ
Common questions
PDFs (digital and scanned), Word documents (.docx), Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx), and images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). Scanned documents are processed with OCR, and handwritten content uses enhanced AI recognition. Documents up to 500 pages are supported.
No. ChronoLaw extracts facts that are explicitly stated in your documents. It does not infer, summarise, or generate content. Every entry is tied to a source document and page number. Entries with low confidence are flagged for your review or excluded entirely.
Word (.docx), Excel Scott Schedule (.xlsx), and PDF. Word and PDF exports have two modes: court-ready (clean, no internal data) and internal review (includes confidence scores and date sources).
Yes. Multiple firm members can review and correct entries on the same case at the same time. Changes sync in real time.
Yes. 14 days with full access to all features. You enter your card details upfront but are not charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime during the trial at no cost.
Most firms find the opposite. The bottleneck is case throughput, not billable hours. A paralegal freed from manual chronology work can progress more matters, chase outstanding records, and draft witness statements. The hours shift from low-value data entry to high-value casework. For firms on fixed recoverable costs (which covers most PI work), faster chronologies directly improve your margins per case.
A typical PI chronology takes 6 to 12 paralegal hours manually. ChronoLaw reduces that to under 1 hour including review. For a firm running 15 active matters, that frees roughly 80 to 160 hours per quarter: equivalent to hiring a part-time paralegal without the salary, NI, or desk space.
ChronoLaw is purpose-built for litigation chronologies in England and Wales. It understands CPR Practice Directions, outputs DD/MM/YYYY dates, generates Scott Schedules, and enforces source citations on every entry. Generic tools do not do any of this.
Yes. The Case Chat AI lets you ask natural language questions about your uploaded documents. It searches across all your case files and returns answers with specific page citations. Common templates for PI and clinical negligence are included, such as ‘List all GP consultations’ or ‘Find all medication changes’.
We currently integrate with Clio, with Proclaim (Access Legal) and Smokeball coming soon. You can import documents directly from your CMS, process them through ChronoLaw, and push the completed chronology back. We also support webhook notifications for workflow automation.
Yes. Standard printed text uses Tesseract OCR. For handwritten content (NHS consultant notes, nursing observations, drug charts) we use Azure Document Intelligence for enhanced recognition. The confidence scoring system accounts for handwriting recognition uncertainty, so you know which entries may need manual verification.
Yes. We accept .docx (Word) and .xlsx (Excel) files alongside PDFs and images. Word documents are extracted paragraph by paragraph. Excel spreadsheets are processed sheet by sheet. All formats feed into the same extraction and confidence scoring pipeline.
ChronoLaw can generate template-based documents from your chronology data: letters of instruction to medical experts, chronology summaries for counsel, and schedule of loss templates. All generated documents are clearly marked as drafts for solicitor review. This is template filling from extracted data, not AI-generated legal content.
