Using TrialView in the Landmark Case of NMC Health Shows Importance of Litigation Tech

The conclusion of the £2.7 billion lawsuit involving NMC Health in the London Commercial Court highlighted the importance of utilising legal technology when managing complex and high-stakes litigation. And the use of TrialView throughout the proceedings emphasised how digital tools are now essential for modern advocacy.

The 12-week trial scrutinised financial audits from 2012 to 2018 and involved claims of up to £4-billion in hidden debt. Due to the size and complexity of evidence, it demonstrated the immense challenges faced by legal teams in preparing and presenting vast quantities of financial data, audit documentation, and expert testimony.

"This lawsuit served as a reminder of the evolution of modern litigation. A case of this size and importance, spanning multiple audits and involving billions of dollars, generated a huge amount of evidence. Without sophisticated tools to prepare and present this information clearly, legal teams risked falling behind their competitors."
