A new category of legal technology: Introducing the fact management system

Live at 11:25am - 12:00pm AEDT

Legal professionals are drowning in scattered, unstructured information, making it harder than ever to extract, verify, and use critical facts efficiently. This “fact chaos” leads to errors, inefficiencies, and unnecessary risks, slowing decision making and frustrating legal teams. So, how can law firms regain control?

In this session, Mary Technology CEO and co-founder Daniel Lord-Doyle will unpack why “fact chaos” matters, introduce fact management systems, and explain how it not only benefits law firms but also positions them strategically for the future.

Join Mary Technology to delve into:

• The hidden costs of “fact chaos”: how disorganised legal data leads to wasted time, increased risk, and reduced profitability.
• How retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) struggles with ambiguity, inconsistency, and unreliable outputs.
• Tangible benefits for firms and clients – from faster case analysis to better risk management and improved client outcomes.
