Turning Every Return to a Case Into a Running Start

“Our matters do not move in a straight line. A case can go quiet for months and then come back overnight, and every time it did, whoever picked it up had to start over, reading thousands of pages just to remember where we stood. With Lexi, the matter lives as a project. Everything is exactly where it was left, and whoever opens the file is back into the case in minutes, not days.” Kajal Dalal, Kajal Dalal Chambers

Turning Every Return to a Case Into a Running Start

Key Highlights 

•       Every matter lives as a project in Lexi: documents, prior drafts, meeting notes and reasoning stay together in one place, for the whole team 

•       Months between hearings no longer cost hours of re-reading; whoever on the team picks up a matter finds it exactly as it was left 

•       Documents translated and formatted page by page in seconds, ready to file, with the legal meaning preserved precisely 

•       One platform for the entire caseload, across the Supreme Court, the National Commission, the Consumer Commission and the Delhi High Court 

•       Translation and formatting, once one of the largest costs on a matter in both time and money, reduced to something the team barely has to think about 

About the chambers 

Kajal Dalal Chambers is led by Kajal Dalal, practicing before the Supreme Court, the National Commission, the Consumer Commission, and the Delhi High Court. The practice spans consumer law and high-court litigation, often across several forums in the same week, with every document required to be filed in English and correctly formatted. 

This is a practice built on long, document-heavy matters that move in fits and starts, exactly the kind of work where losing the thread costs more than the reading itself, and where more than one person on a team will touch the same matter over its life.   

Opportunity 

Litigation records run into thousands of pages, and matters can stay quiet for months before returning with an urgent deadline attached. The real cost was never the reading. It was the re-reading. Every time a matter resurfaced, whoever picked it up, often not the same person who last worked on it, had to rebuild the context from scratch before any actual work could start: what was argued, what was drafted, what was decided, and why. 

Layered on top of that, every document crossing the team’s desks has to reach the same standard in English, correctly formatted, whether it began as a regional-language record or a client’s note. Translation and formatting were not a small task on the side. They were a major cost driver in their own right, in time and in money, before a single argument could even be prepared. 

“Litigation records run into thousands of pages, and our matters can be quiet for months and then move overnight. The real cost was never the reading. It was the re-reading, every single time a matter came back, especially when the person picking it up was not the one who last set it down.”

Solution 

Lexi gave the chambers a single place where a matter lives for as long as it takes to resolve it, and does the translation and formatting work that used to sit between a document and a filing. 

The matter as a project 

In Lexi, a matter is not a folder that gets reopened and re-read. It is a project: every document, every prior draft, every meeting note, and the reasoning behind each decision stays together, exactly as it was left, and visible to everyone on the team who needs it. When a matter goes quiet, nothing is lost. When it comes back, nothing has to be rebuilt, no matter who on the team opens it. 

Picking up where it was left off 

A case that returns after a two-month gap opens the same way it closed. Whoever on the team takes it up is back inside the matter in minutes, not days, with the full context in front of them instead of scattered across old emails and desktop folders. 

Translation and formatting, page by page, in seconds 

Every filing has to be in English and properly formatted, regardless of which forum it is headed to. Lexi translates and formats documents page by page in seconds, preserving the legal meaning precisely rather than approximating it. What used to be a slow, expensive step before the real work began now barely registers as a step at all. 

“Every document we file has to be in English, properly formatted, whether it is the Supreme Court or a district consumer commission. Translation and formatting used to be a cost in themselves, in time and in money. Now Lexi does it page by page in seconds, and the legal meaning stays exactly as intended.”   ·   Kajal Dalal 

One platform, every forum 

The chambers now manage the entire caseload from the same platform, whether a matter is headed to the Supreme Court, the National Commission, the Consumer Commission, or the Delhi High Court. The forum changes, and the person handling it may change too. The workspace does not. 

Impact 

The change is not that any one person reads faster. It is that the team almost never has to start over, regardless of who last touched a matter. A case that goes quiet for months no longer costs a day of reconstruction when it returns; it costs the time it takes to open the project. 

Translation and formatting, once a real line item in both time and cost, have become close to instantaneous, which means more of every matter’s budget and every hour of the team’s week goes toward the argument itself rather than the paperwork in front of it. Across four forums and a caseload that never moves in a straight line, that continuity, shared across the whole team, is the advantage. 

“We appear before the Supreme Court, the National Commission, and the Delhi High Court, sometimes in the same week, and it is rarely the same person carrying a matter start to finish. Lexi is the one place all of it lives, so whoever on the team picks up a file is not rebuilding a case from scratch, and we are not paying for translation and formatting as a separate cost every time. We just pick up where it was left off, whichever forum we are walking into.”
