Historical Case Management
The discussion highlights the challenges of managing historical cases, often spanning decades, that involve extensive documentation in various languages. These cases may have previously received only initial investigations, resulting in voluminous files that legal teams must sift through. With a limited number of staff, the legal team focuses on transforming the handling of these complex cases into a more efficient process. This efficiency is crucial as it allows them to invest more time in substantive legal work rather than in the logistical challenges of managing information.
