LIT SUITE

LIT SUITE is a collection of five apps for preparing, organizing, and presenting litigation cases on iOS and macOS: TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, and ExhibitsPad. TrialPad arranges and presents documents, photographs, video, audio, and demonstrative evidence in courtroom or remote settings. TranscriptPad provides tools for working with testimony, including designations, issue codes, highlights, redactions, and notes. DocReviewPad supports tags and custom issue codes on individual pages or full documents. The Solo Litigator plan includes all five apps for $50 a month, billed annually through the App Store, for individual use. A 7-day trial and a free plan are listed; the maker also offers free licenses through its For Good initiative to qualifying lawyers and legal teams doing pro bono, legal aid, or nonprofit work for vulnerable or underrepresented people. Case files remain on the user's device or with a selected cloud provider, not LIT SOFTWARE servers. Cloud access uses Apple Files on iPad or Finder on Mac and requires the provider app to be installed and signed in.

LIT SUITE brings trial presentation, transcript work, and document review into one subscription. Buyers should account for its Apple-only platforms and the provider-app requirement for cloud files.

The suite is aimed at solo litigators and litigation teams, including attorneys, associates, paralegals, and staff. Its free-license initiative is for qualifying legal work supporting vulnerable or underrepresented people.

LIT SUITE combines five litigation apps for lawyers and legal teams preparing, organizing, and presenting cases. It suits Apple-using litigators who want trial presentation, transcript work, and document review in one subscription.

Overview

The suite brings TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, and ExhibitsPad together under one subscription. Its breadth is useful for teams handling several stages of litigation, rather than buyers seeking only a presentation tool. The trade-off is a platform commitment: it runs on iOS and macOS, and cloud files depend on the storage provider’s app rather than a direct LIT SUITE connection.

Key features

Present and manage evidence

TrialPad organizes and presents documents, photographs, video, audio, and demonstrative evidence in courtroom or remote settings. Evidence annotation, video playback, and exhibit management round out the presentation workflow. This combination is a practical fit for litigators who need more than a static slide deck; it is less compelling if the need is simply to present exhibits and nothing else.

Work with testimony and documents

TranscriptPad supports designations, issue codes, highlights, redactions, and notes, while DocReviewPad lets users tag pages or whole documents and apply custom issue codes. These tools give attorneys and litigation staff ways to organize testimony and documents within the same suite, instead of treating those tasks as separate from trial preparation.

Files, privacy, and sharing

On iPad, cloud storage is accessed through Apple Files; on Mac, through Finder. The maker names iCloud Drive, Box, Dropbox, Citrix Files, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive as examples, but users must install and sign in to the relevant provider app. Sync remains under that provider’s and the operating system’s control, so cloud access is not a direct LIT SUITE integration. LIT SOFTWARE says its apps do not store, access, or transmit case data through its servers; files stay locally or with a cloud provider chosen by the user. Case Files can also be shared by USB, AirDrop, or email for files under 20 MB.

Pricing

Solo Litigator

Solo Litigator costs $50 a month, billed annually via the App Store. It includes all five apps for individual use, making it the straightforward choice for a solo practitioner who wants the complete workflow without team license management. An App Store subscription can be installed on up to three compatible Apple devices belonging to one individual. A 7-day trial gives prospective subscribers a short period to assess the fit; the subscription is paid, and a free plan is also offered.

Litigation Teams

Litigation Teams has custom pricing based on team size and rollout. It includes all five apps, centralized license management, and MDM readiness for firm-managed devices. Priority support for active teams, optional screen-share sessions, and quarterly team-specific training make this the more suitable plan for firms coordinating deployment and ongoing team support. Its cost depends on the scope of the rollout, so solo users should compare it with the fixed-price individual plan.

LIT SOFTWARE also offers free licenses through LIT SUITE For Good to lawyers and legal teams doing pro bono, legal aid, or nonprofit work for vulnerable or underrepresented people. That can make the full suite accessible to qualifying work without the standard subscription price.

Platforms

LIT SUITE runs on iOS and macOS. The Apple-only footprint makes it a natural fit for users already working on iPad or Mac, but a poor choice for teams that need Android or Windows support. Offline access is limited, so users who require a consistently offline workflow should weigh that constraint before committing.

Who it's for

The suite is aimed at solo litigators and litigation teams, including attorneys, associates, paralegals, and staff. It makes the strongest case for Apple-based practices that want presentation, transcript, document-review, and exhibit work in a single subscription. It is not a good fit for buyers needing broad platform coverage, direct cloud-provider connections, or unrestricted offline access.

Pros and cons

• Pro: All five apps are included in both subscription plans, covering presentation, transcript work, document review, timelines, and exhibits under one subscription.
• Pro: The team plan adds centralized license management, MDM readiness, priority support for active teams, optional screen-share sessions, and quarterly training.
• Pro: Files remain locally or with a user-selected cloud provider rather than being stored, accessed, or transmitted through LIT SOFTWARE’s servers, according to the maker.
• Con: iOS and macOS are the only supported platforms, excluding practices that need Android or Windows.
• Con: Cloud storage depends on provider apps and operating-system sync, rather than a direct connection from LIT SUITE.
• Con: Offline access is limited, and email sharing is restricted to files under 20 MB.

Verdict

LIT SUITE is a strong choice for solo litigators and litigation teams already committed to Apple devices who want trial presentation, transcript work, and document review together. Its main advantage is the breadth of the five-app subscription, with team-specific license and support options for firms. Look elsewhere if your workflow depends on Windows or Android, direct cloud connections, or reliable full offline access.
