Codean announces Beta of Codean Visualizer legal document visualization software

Codean today announces the beta release programme for Codean Visualizer, a ground breaking solution for legal document visualization that helps lawyers read, analyze and process legal documents faster and more efficiently. Codean Visualizer automatically analyzes legal documents for defined terms without user intervention to generate a live, hyperlinked version of the document. Complex legal documents, with a cascade of defined terms, pose many challenges to lawyers, not least: navigating and reading them, keeping in mind a complete mental map of the document whilst working on it and maintaining quality control before sending out to clients. Codean Visualizer has been designed from the ground up to help lawyers overcome these issues. “Codean Visualizer brings many benefits to lawyers and practitioners dealing with complex legal documents”, says Peter Jasko, Managing Director of Codean. “It allows you to grasp the structure of a document much quicker and stops you flipping countless pages. It is also a very valuable tool for training to bring other people up to speed on a document.” Codean Visualizer is delivered to users as a standalone desktop application. It takes a single document or a set of documents, analyses them for defined terms and produces a hyperlinked, navigable report on the defined terms. The report includes where and how the defined terms are used and graphically shows how the defined terms fit together. Availability The beta of Codean Visualizer will be available on an invitation only basis from July 2010. Those interested in participating can sign up for the waiting list now by contacting info@codean.com.
