Legal Document Review & Summarization

Public Records Document Review & Summarization

At Global Technologies, we provide end-to-end legal document review and summarization services for law firms, with a focus on public records, municipal files, and case-related document productions.

Our team reviews large volumes of documents, identifies and classifies each record by date and type, and prepares clear, structured, and neutral summaries outlining the key factual contents of every document.

The summaries are designed to give attorneys a quick, accurate understanding of timelines, actions taken, and relevant communications—without legal opinions or analysis—helping reduce review time and enabling faster, more informed case assessment and strategy decisions.

📌 Document Review & Summary for a real estate firm in SFO

CASE DETAILS-

Source Material: ~50 pages of documents received through a public records request
Matter Type: Property / Municipal Law – Building Code Enforcement & Due Process

🔍 Background of the Matter

The case involves a city building inspector who issued a building violation notice against a property. Subsequently, the city conducted hearings related to the violation without properly notifying the property owner.
This raises potential legal issues around notice, due process, and procedural fairness.

🛠️ What the Job Required (Scope of Work)

The firm requested a structured summary of approximately 50 pages of records before proceeding further with legal strategy.
Our responsibility was not legal analysis or opinion, but organized factual summarization to support attorney review.

🧾 Specific Tasks Performed

We were required to:-

1. Review All Documents Thoroughly

Examine every page received from the public records request
Identify relevant vs. supporting/background documents

2. Create a Structured Summary for Each Document

For each document, we extracted and summarized:

Date – When the document was created or issued
Type – e.g., notice, inspection report, email, hearing record, internal memo
Title / Identifier – Official heading, subject line, or description
Generalized Contents –
- What the document is about
- Who issued it
- What action was taken or discussed
- How it relates to the violation or hearings

⚠️ No legal conclusions were added — only factual, neutral summaries

🎯 Purpose of the Summary

The summary was prepared to:

Enable attorneys to quickly understand the full timeline
Identify gaps in notice or communication
Spot procedural irregularities (e.g., hearings without owner notification)
Decide next legal steps without reading all 50 pages line-by-line

📘 Final Deliverable

A concise, well-organized document summary that:

Condenses 50 pages into an easy-to-review format
Preserves all critical facts
Saves significant attorney review time
Serves as a foundation for legal analysis and strategy
