Using TrialView in Landmark Case of NMC Health vs EY Underscores Importance of Litigation Tech

As the £2.7 billion lawsuit against EY in the NMC Health case continues, their use of TrialView in the London Commercial Court emphasises the importance of utilising legal technology when managing complex and high-stakes litigation.

The 12-week trial is scrutinizing EY's audits of NMC Health from 2012 to 2018 and involves claims of up to £4 billion in hidden debt. Due to the size and complexity of evidence, it demonstrates the immense challenges faced by legal teams in preparing and presenting vast quantities of financial data, audit documentation, and expert testimony.

"The EY lawsuit serves as a reminder of the evolution of modern litigation," said Stephen Dowling, CEO and Founder at TrialView "A case of this size and importance, spanning multiple audits and involving billions of dollars, generates a huge amount of evidence. Without sophisticated tools to prepare and present this information clearly, legal teams risk falling behind their competitors.”
