New Solution Eliminates Context-Switching During Depositions by Streaming Live Transcription, Attorney Notes, and Exhibit Materials Directly Into a Legal Team’s Existing AI Tools

Prevail, a leading legal technology provider of court reporting, transcription, and deposition software and services, today announced the general availability of CheckMate, the industry’s first unified platform designed to simplify how legal teams manage testimony. CheckMate enables legal teams to stream live testimony, attorney notes, and exhibit materials directly into their organization’s existing large language models (LLMs) in real time, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications during depositions. The application can also leverage Prevail’s native LLM for clients that do not have a legal-specific LLM.

Today’s deposition process—and attorney knowledge—is fragmented across different systems. Attorneys may use one platform for transcription, another for notes, another for case management, and yet another for AI review, forcing constant context-switching during key moments of testimony. Even firms that have invested in AI tools typically are not able to feed live deposition content directly into those systems during a live proceeding.

Prevail’s CheckMate solution, which expands the company’s AI-assisted testimony management and reporting platform, addresses that gap by consolidating essential deposition tools into one intelligent platform. The solution streamlines real-time transcription with accurate speaker identification, provides full-featured collaborative notetaking with team tagging and formatting, and securely integrates with a firm’s chosen LLM, delivering AI-generated insights, contradiction alerts, and related case materials directly into the firm’s AI environment.

“CheckMate represents a fundamental shift in how legal teams experience depositions, arbitration hearings, and internal investigations,” said Rob Feigenbaum, CEO and co-founder of Prevail Legal. “Instead of managing five or six separate tools and reconstructing insights after the fact, attorneys can now stay fully present during testimony while their entire workflow operates seamlessly in the background. We built this to give litigators a strategic advantage and efficiencies they’ve never had before.”

“Shook has integrated AI into our Complex Litigation Strategic Counseling Practice Group, including our work on early case assessment, case work up, and at trial,” said Patrick Oot, partner and co-chair of Shook, Hardy & Bacon’s Complex Litigation Strategic Counseling Group and co-chair of the firm’s Government Investigations and White Collar Practice Group. “Part of that stack includes utilizing Prevail AI in live depositions. CheckMate connects the dots in real time. That fundamentally enhances how we prepare, question, and adjust strategy during testimony.”

The platform delivers three integrated capabilities, working across all deposition formats including in-person, hybrid, and fully remote.

• Real-Time Transcription With Speaker Identification: Live, searchable transcription with accurate speaker tagging, powered by Prevail’s proprietary court reporting technology.
• Collaborative Notetaking: Full-featured notes with formatting, colleague tagging, and secure team communication, keeping every team member aligned without leaving the application.
• Integrated AI Analysis: Secure API integration streams live transcripts and notes directly to the organization’s LLM of choice, allowing users to query exhibits instantly to surface contradictions, related case materials, and strategic insights in real time, with no vendor lock-in.

CheckMate runs on Prevail’s secure enterprise infrastructure. Customer data stays within each organization’s environment and is never used to train AI models without explicit permission. Prevail maintains SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications and holds federal Authorizations to Operate (ATO), supporting firms and government teams with strict security requirements.

The solution is available as an add-on for new and existing Prevail customers. To schedule a demo or learn more, visit prevail.ai or contact your Prevail account executive.
